The 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience for buyers

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2021 Subaru Forester Convenience, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the Forester

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with 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.

The EPA rates it at 8.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 25 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $12.71 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Space and size

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

Try before you buy

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,300 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.
