Before you sign for the Forester

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. NHTSA has 210 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

By the EPA's combined rating of 8.2 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 25 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Practical details

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Choosing the right one

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

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.
