Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
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 Shadow for a week and see how it fits your life. If the Shadow is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
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 $15.19 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
