Before you sign for the Forester

NHTSA has 74 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and visibility/wiper. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the specs mean

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

Fuel use is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. That works out to about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Forester

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Room inside

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

A longer test drive

A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forester for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review.

Which one to look for

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

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. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
