The 2012 GMC Canyon: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 GMC Canyon for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2012 GMC Canyon in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Canyon
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 2.9L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated 11.3 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. That works out to about $17.52 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Canyon
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
A longer test drive
If the Canyon is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Canyon on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $175.20 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
