The 2024 Subaru Forester Base: before you buy

No 2024 Subaru Forester Base is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2024 Subaru Forester Base for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

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

Engine and fuel

It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.71 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Forester

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who rents the Forester

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Rent it for a week first

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
