Before you sign for the CX-5

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 65 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Engine and fuel

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Four-wheel drive helps on rough ground and deep snow; on dry roads it behaves like any other vehicle.

Combined fuel use is 9.0 L/100 km: about 27 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.95. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

What to expect from the CX-5

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the CX-5 tells you more than any review. Try the CX-5 on your commute, then decide. Rent the CX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
