Buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the Forester

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 25 litres. Every 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

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

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
