Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2021 Subaru Forester Premier before buying one.

Before you sign for the Forester

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

What the specs mean

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Plan on about 25 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.71. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Who rents the Forester

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Drive it on your own roads

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
