The 2021 Subaru Forester Base: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Subaru Forester Base for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Base, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Forester

Owners filed 210 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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Engine and fuel

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.71 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Inside and out

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

Try before you buy

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Which one to look for

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the Base with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

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. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
