Recalls and complaints

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 603 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The numbers in plain words

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Forester on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting.
