Before you sign for the Forester

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. 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.

The figures, translated

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.71. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Forester suits

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Practical details

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

A longer test drive

A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Forester for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the Premier with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
