Car financing: black 2023 Subaru Outback Touring in Farmbrook

Buying the 2023 Subaru Outback Touring

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2023 Subaru Outback Touring for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2023 Subaru Outback Touring before buying one.

Before you sign for the Outback

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Engine and fuel

The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.3 L/100 km rating. Expect about $12.87 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

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

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Try before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Outback 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.

What it costs to run

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. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Picking a year and a 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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
