The 2021 Subaru Forester Base: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Subaru Forester Base; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2021 Subaru Forester Base before buying one.

Before you sign for the Forester

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and 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.

The combined figure, 8.2 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Who the Forester suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Room inside

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Try before you buy

If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Forester on your commute, then decide. Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

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