Specs, explained
The 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 8.9 L/100 km works out to about 27 litres per 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Esteem
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Practical details
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Luggage space is rated at 680 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Esteem for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Esteem is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
