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. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.2 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Convenience with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
