Before you sign for the Forester

Owners filed 210 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Specs, explained

Under the hood: the 2.5L 4-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. Expect about $12.71 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who the Forester suits

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

What the Forester is like

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

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Forester for a week and see how it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
