Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 37 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the 5000
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What to expect from the 5000
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 481 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the 5000 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 5000 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
Your move
