Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience

No 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Forester

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the figures tell you

The 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.71. 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 visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Practical details

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Forester for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Choosing the right one

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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Money matters

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.
