The figures, translated
Its 8.3L 10-cylinder drives through a 6-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 18.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 54 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $95.04 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$6,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the Viper answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $31.68 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $316.80 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Your move
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
