A buyer's checks

NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 158 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, back over prevention and unknown or other. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 7-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.

At 7.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $138.30. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. NHTSA lists it at 4.76 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Drive it on your own roads

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
