Recalls and complaints
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 11.2 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the 9-5
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 1,048 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the 9-5 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
