Recalls and complaints

NHTSA has 66 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, exterior lighting and engine. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

It uses the 2.5L 4-cylinder and four-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

A combined rating of 9.0 L/100 km works out to about 27 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.85 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Inside and out

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

When the CX-5 makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the CX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the CX-5 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

The cost of driving it

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. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

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