Worth knowing

Look for the Convenience or Leather group: Convenience adds a rearview camera and remote start, while Leather adds heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel.
On the test drive
Check the oil level, since the 2.4-liter can burn oil in some cars. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
