The 2011 Suzuki Equator: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Suzuki Equator for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 2011 Suzuki Equator is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags and engine and engine cooling. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here 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.
The EPA rates it at 11.3 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. Expect about $17.52 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Equator makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed.
Practical details
It is built for loads that would never fit in a trunk.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Equator tells you more than any review. Try the Equator on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $175.20 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Send a request
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Suzuki Equator from us first.
