The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
The WCA in everyday use
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
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. Rent the WCA first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Picking a year and a trim
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
