What to check on the CX-5

Owners filed 45 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, service brakes and engine; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

The engine 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 8.9 L/100 km rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.80. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Space and size

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

Rent it for a week first

Rent the CX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the CX-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

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$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
