Recalls and complaints

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Specs, explained

It is powered by the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with 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.

A combined rating of 8.2 L/100 km works out to about 25 litres per 300 km. Expect about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Forester

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

Who the Forester suits

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Drive it on your own roads

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Money matters

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Which one to look for

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
