Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Specs, explained
Its 4.2L 8-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The EPA rates it at 15.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 47 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $82.44 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 510 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the S8
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Try before you buy
A test week in the S8 tells you more than any review. Drive the S8 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the S8 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
