Before you sign for the Esteem
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 8.3 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $12.87 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Esteem in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 821 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people who want car handling with extra load space. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the Esteem first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Esteem is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $128.70 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
