A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 148 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, power train and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 8.5 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $39.54 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Good uses for the CX-5

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the CX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the CX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
