A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 100 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and air bags; have those parts checked.
Specs, explained
The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Its combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203.10. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the RX suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Inside and out
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 906 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the RX answers more than any brochure. Rent the RX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
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.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
