Silver 2024 Subaru Forester Touring for sale in Java

Thinking of buying the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Engine and fuel

The 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. 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.

Who rents the Forester

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What to expect from the Forester

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

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Narrowing it down

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. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
