The 2001 Subaru Forester for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Subaru Forester; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2001 Subaru Forester is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Forester
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 139 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, power train and service brakes. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive. 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.
Rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 34 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.36, and a 300 km weekend about $52.08. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well. In plain terms, its 934 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Forester suits
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Forester 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.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Year and trim
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. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Let us know
