We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Forester

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

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. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $38.13 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

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

Who it is for

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

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. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting.

Year and trim

Compare the Convenience with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
