A buyer's checks

NHTSA has 53 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and lane departure. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Engine and fuel

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $40.92 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

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

Who rents the Compass

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

A longer test drive

Drive the Compass on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Compass tells you more than any review.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Narrowing it down

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
