Buying the 2022 Subaru Forester Base

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2022 Subaru Forester Base for sale by us right now. The 2022 Subaru Forester Base for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 100 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, visibility/wiper and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

The numbers in plain words

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Fuel use is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $38.13 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

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

Who rents the Forester

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

One more step

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
