The 2021 Subaru Forester Premier: before you buy

No 2021 Subaru Forester Premier is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the figures tell you

The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. 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.

It is rated at 8.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $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 a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

How big it is

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
