A buyer's checks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 772 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Fuel use is rated 9.6 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $148.80 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.88 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
