Before you sign for the Forester

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

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.

Combined fuel use is 8.2 L/100 km: about 25 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Rent it for a week first

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Running costs
