Before you sign for the Forester

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Engine and fuel

Power: the 2.5L 4-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Expect about 25 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.2 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $38.13 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

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

When the Forester makes sense

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Forester is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

What it costs to run

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

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
