Before you sign for the Encore
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. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. 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.
Combined fuel use is 8.2 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,325 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Encore
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who it is for
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Encore on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Encore on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Encore answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,325 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
