Who it is for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Living with the SC
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 311 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
If the SC is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the SC tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting.
