Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 5 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, fuel system and fuel/propulsion system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 11.2 L/100 km: about 34 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $52.08 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Equator suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What to expect from the Equator
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
Try before you buy
Rent the Equator for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Equator answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Over to you
