The figures, translated

The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, 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.

It is rated 8.2 L/100 km combined: about 25 litres every 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.71 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 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.

Room inside

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

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forester for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Which one to look for

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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.
