Car financing: the 2020 Subaru Forester Touring

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Subaru Forester Touring for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2020 Subaru Forester Touring is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Forester

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 603 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). 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.

It is rated at 8.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 25 litres. Every 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the Forester is like

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

A good match for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Forester on your commute before you commit to it. 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

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Touring with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
