Car leasing: the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is what to know about the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor before buying one.

What to check on the Crosstrek

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 116 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance.

What the figures tell you

The engine is the 2.0L 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 24 litres, from its 7.9 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $36.75 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

The Crosstrek in everyday use

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Best uses

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Crosstrek for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Crosstrek is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Outdoor with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
