A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. 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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 7-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Fuel use is rated 9.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $142.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
