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

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. 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.

The figures, translated

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.2 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $127.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Forester

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

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

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