Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 121 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the figures tell you

Its electric motor drives through a 1-speed automatic. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Its rating is 15.3 kWh/100 km: about 46 kWh for 300 km. On paper it goes 584 km between charges, less in winter. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $6.90 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$550 a year for 15,000 miles.

Rent it for a week first

Picking a year and a trim
