Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Specs, explained
The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 8.0 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $37.20 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the RX
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the RX answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
