What to check on the Forester

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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Reading the spec sheet

The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with 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.

Fuel use is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.71. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the Forester is like

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

A good match for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

A longer test drive

Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Premier with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
