Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 9.5 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $166.30. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 283 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the RC on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the RC answers more than any brochure.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2022 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
