Before you sign for the Forester

Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the figures tell you

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

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

The Forester in everyday use

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Drive it on your own roads

A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

The cost of driving it

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

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. 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.
