Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 75 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, electrical system and engine; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

The 3.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Its combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.59 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Carnival for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
