Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Specs, explained

Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Expect about 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 6.9 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $32.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Inside and out

As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 736 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Civic is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Civic answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$1,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $107 at our price setting.
