Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.71, and a 300 km weekend about $38.13. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Forester
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Inside and out
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Forester tells you more than any review. Try the Forester on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
