Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 1.8L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.4 L/100 km, means roughly 28 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $14.57 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the Hatchback is like
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 311 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Hatchback suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Hatchback on your commute before you commit to it. If the Hatchback is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
