Specs, explained

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The combined figure, 8.2 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space and size

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

Good uses for the Forester

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

Rent it for a week first

If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

The cost of driving it

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

Year and trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the Base with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
