Before you sign for the Forester

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. 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.

Reading the spec sheet

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.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $12.71 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Inside and out

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

Good uses for the Forester

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
