The 2021 Subaru Forester Base for buyers

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The numbers in plain words

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 25 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.71. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Forester in everyday use

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

A good match for

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

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
