I think so. 98-02 with 1zzfe almost all burn 1 quart every 1k miles. Mine did 1 quart every 1k km. So consider oil in price if you drive a lot. Besides that I couldn’t get =<02 insured easily and at affordable rate because it’s “old”. I was looking at 05-08 with 1zzfe (Corolla, matrix, vibe) when I was looking. Gl

I live where emissions were removed (Ontario)

Just be mindful of 1zzfe and oil consumption. Also depends on which o2 sensor - could be also the catalytic converter going. Depends if you need emissions or not.
