Before you sign for the Avtech SC / M12

Specs, explained

The 5.7L 12-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Combined fuel use is 26.1 L/100 km: about 78 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $456.80. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$9,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Space, size and seats

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the Avtech SC / M12 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Avtech SC / M12 tells you more than any review.

Which one to look for

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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $456.80 at our price setting.
