    Thinking of buying the 2019 Subaru Forester Base?

    We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2019 Subaru Forester Base for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2019 Subaru Forester Base? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

    Before you sign for the Forester

    In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

    The numbers in plain words

    Power: the 2.5L 4-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

    The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 25 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.71, and a 300 km weekend about $38.13. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    A good match for

    Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

    Space, size and seats

    An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

    Rent it for a week first

    Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions.

    Picking a year and a trim

    Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

    Money matters

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting.

    Ruby and the Forester

    Ruby is about 282 km from our Toronto location: the car is picked up in Toronto, or delivered on request. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby.
