A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the 5000 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
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. Within the 1984 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
