What to check on the Forester

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

It is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $127.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

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

Best uses

What it costs to run

Which one to look for

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the Sport with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
