The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 5.2L 10-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. 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 13.3 L/100 km: about 40 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $23.28 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the R8
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the R8 answers more than any brochure. Try the R8 on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $232.80 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
