Specs, explained

The engine is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Rated at 15.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 47 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $82.44 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the V8

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 481 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the V8 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the V8 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the V8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the V8 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $27.48 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $274.80 at our price setting.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
