Before you sign for the CX-30

NHTSA lists 2 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. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 33 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with four-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.71 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Room inside

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

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. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
