We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Subaru Forester Premier for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

It is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.71 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

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

Who the Forester suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

A longer test drive

If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
