Engine and fuel

Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder 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.

It is rated at 7.7 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 23 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $119.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

What it costs to run

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.
