Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Plan on about 28 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.3 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $14.42. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

How big it is

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

A longer test drive

Try the Q5 on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting.

Renting for Java
