Certified Pre-Owned: the Subaru GL

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Subaru GL; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the Subaru GL in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the GL

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. 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.

What the specs mean

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

A good match for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

What the GL is like

As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.

Try before you buy

Rent first, buy later: a week with the GL answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Subaru GL from us first.

Buying the Subaru GL

Does CarmaCars sell the Subaru GL?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Subaru GL before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
