The 2024 Subaru Forester Touring: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 Subaru Forester Touring for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the Forester

NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and air bags. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain here 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.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. Expect about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Forester

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

What to expect from the Forester

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

Try before you buy

If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. 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.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Touring with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. 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.
