The 2020 Subaru Forester for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Subaru Forester; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2020 Subaru Forester, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 603 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with 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.
At 8.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 25 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.71 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Space and size
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
