The 2007 Subaru Forester for buyers
No 2007 Subaru Forester is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2007 Subaru Forester for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Forester
Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, power train and engine; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it. 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.
Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km. Every 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The Forester in everyday use
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. The trunk holds 878 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Forester on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. 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.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
