A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words

Who the VNM suits

Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the VNM for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the VNM on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ask us
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
