Buying the 2011 Suzuki Equator
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Suzuki Equator; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2011 Suzuki Equator for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Equator
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 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 does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 11.3 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.52 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Equator
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What to expect from the Equator
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Equator answers the big questions. Drive the Equator on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $175.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
