What the figures tell you
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
The Skyhawk in everyday use
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Skyhawk on your commute, then decide. Rent the Skyhawk for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Skyhawk is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Choosing the right one
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
