A buyer's checks

Owners filed 25 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, unknown or other and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The EPA rates it at 9.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.97 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the Q5

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. NHTSA lists it at 4.66 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Running costs

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.97 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Which one to look for

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
