Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 18 litres for every 300 km, going by its 5.9 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $27.45 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The ES in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the ES makes sense
It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent the ES for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the ES on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the ES first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
