Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.4L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 11.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 34 litres of fuel. In money, 1,000 km costs about $196 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
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.
Practical details
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 227 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
If the C70 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the C70 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
