What the specs mean
The powertrain here is the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 9.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $45.12 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
Rent the C30 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the C30 on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
