Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 29 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.19, and a 300 km weekend about $45.57. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the tC is like
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the tC
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the tC on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
