Before you sign for the Forester

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Specs, explained

The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, 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.

Combined fuel use is 8.2 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $127.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who the Forester suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

How big it is

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

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. Try the Forester on your commute, then decide. Rent the Forester first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The cost of driving it

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