Auto loans: blue 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited in Farmbrook

Thinking of buying the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the Crosstrek

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 116 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $122.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Good uses for the Crosstrek

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Drive the Crosstrek on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Crosstrek for a week and see how it fits your life.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting.

Narrowing it down

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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
