A buyer's checks

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. NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, vehicle speed control and power train. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

Under the hood

Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 35 litres for every 300 km, going by its 11.8 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $182.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

How big it is

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the ES on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

What it costs to run

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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
