Car leasing: yellow 2020 Subaru Forester Premier in Java

Thinking of buying the 2020 Subaru Forester Premier?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Subaru Forester Premier for sale by us right now. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. This page puts the 2020 Subaru Forester Premier in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on 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. Owners filed 603 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

Power: the 2.5L 4-cylinder; drive: 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.

At 8.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 25 litres of fuel. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

Space, size and seats

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

Try before you buy

Rent the Forester first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forester answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Which one to look for

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $127.10 at our price setting. 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.
