The 2023 Subaru Forester Convenience for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2023 Subaru Forester Convenience for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2023 Subaru Forester Convenience, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

What to check on the Forester

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and visibility/wiper; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 25 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.71, and a 300 km weekend about $38.13. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the Forester

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

Practical details

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. 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.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. 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.
