Buying the 2012 GMC Canyon
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 GMC Canyon; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2012 GMC Canyon, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Canyon
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.9L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.3 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $52.56 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
What to expect from the Canyon
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Canyon tells you more than any review. Rent the Canyon for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Canyon answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Send a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 GMC Canyon from us first.
