Under the hood
The 1.6L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,313 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Omni in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 453 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,313 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
