Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 22 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.2 L/100 km combined rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.16 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. EPA lists 708 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

When the Kicks makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Kicks for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $111.60 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Java and the Kicks
