Before you sign for the Forester

Specs, explained
Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 8.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. Expect about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the Forester
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Who the Forester suits
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Forester first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
