Buying the 2020 Subaru Forester Convenience

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Subaru Forester Convenience; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2020 Subaru Forester Convenience before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 603 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the specs mean

The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, 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.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $38.13 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 anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Space and size

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. 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.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

The cost of driving it

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. 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.
