The 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience; this page helps you judge it 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.

Recalls and complaints

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. 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.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. That works out to about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

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

Is it right for your trip?

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Forester for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. 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.

Money matters

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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Choosing the right one

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
