Thinking of buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Base?

What to check on the Forester

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the specs mean

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.71, and a 300 km weekend about $38.13. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the Forester

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Forester first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

The cost of driving it

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the Base with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The Forester and Stacktown

Stacktown is about 462 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Stacktown.
