The 2021 Subaru Forester Base: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Subaru Forester Base 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 2021 Subaru Forester Base, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

What to check on the Forester

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

The figures, translated

Its powertrain 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 combined figure, 8.2 L/100 km, means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Space, size and seats

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Which one to look for

Compare the Base with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
