A buyer's checks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 443 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, steering and engine; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Expect about 23 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.8 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.09, and a 300 km weekend about $36.27. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

A longer test drive

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the CR-V first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.09 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $120.90 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
