What to check on the Forester

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. 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.

Under the hood

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km. 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.

What the Forester is like

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

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Drive it on your own roads

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. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

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.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
