2021 Subaru Forester Premier for sale in Devizes

Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Forester

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

Power comes from the 2.5L 4-cylinder, driving 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.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $38.13 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

When the Forester makes sense

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

Living with the Forester

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

A longer test drive

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
