Thinking of buying the 2021 Subaru Forester Touring?

No 2021 Subaru Forester Touring is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2021 Subaru Forester Touring for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and 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.

At 8.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 25 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.71, and a 300 km weekend about $38.13. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Living with the Forester

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

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
