- Electrical System — 5 owner reports. Test every window, lock, light, screen and USB port; check the battery age.
- Fuel/Propulsion System — 1 owner reports. Smell for fuel around the car and in the cabin, check that it starts easily when warm, and look at the oil dipstick for a fuel smell or rising level.
- Mileage to watch. Owners typically reported problems around 64,000 miles; ask what was repaired near that point.
- Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
