The 2007 Subaru Forester for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2007 Subaru Forester for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2007 Subaru Forester for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the specs mean
Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and 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.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.7 L/100 km combined rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.59 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the Forester is like
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. EPA lists 878 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the Forester makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Forester first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
