Thinking of buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. 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.

Before you sign for the Forester

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses 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.

Practical details

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who it is for

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

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.

Which one to look for

Compare the Sport with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
