Beige 2021 Subaru Forester Premier for sale in Kellerman

Thinking of buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Subaru Forester Premier for sale by us right now. Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Forester

NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the figures tell you

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). 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.

Fuel use is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $127.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Inside and out

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

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. Compare the Premier with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
