A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 16 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and seats; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 11.0 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 33 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $19.25 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Inside and out

Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Good uses for the Q7

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the Q7 tells you more than any review. Rent the Q7 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.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.50 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.25 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
