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. Buying the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Forester

NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, unknown or other and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Under the hood

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.

A combined rating of 8.2 L/100 km works out to about 25 litres per 300 km. Expect 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.

Best uses

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.

Inside and out

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Try before you buy

Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Narrowing it down

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

Running costs

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting.
