    Looking at the Canadian vs US maintenance schedule (as posted in the file library), it looks like there's a major difference in the Engine and Inverter Coolant service.

    On the Canadian schedule, it says that these fluids should be replaced at 64000km (about 40K miles). However, the US schedule says that initial replacement is at 100K/120 Months.

    Do they use different fluids in Canada? Also, are the CDN$ prices on the Canadian schedule (when translated to US dollars) similar to US prices?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    That is not the only difference. The Canadian maintenance schedule has us changing the air cabin filter after only 16K km (10K miles) while in the US the change interval is 30K miles. Go figure.

    The price of the Canadian base model is C$29,900 (with delivery, etc.) which works out to about US$22,300.

    The top model in Canada however is C$34,000 but does not include the NAV/voice/Bluetooth.
