What to check on the Forester

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

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. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Forester

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Best uses

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

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Premier with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
