The figures, translated
It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 35 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km. That works out to about $20.65 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the RX
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
The RX in everyday use
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the RX answers the big questions. A test week in the RX tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
