Before you sign for the Q5

There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

By the EPA's combined rating of 9.3 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 28 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.42. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What it costs to run

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
