Lease takeover: silver 2020 Subaru Forester Touring in Java

Thinking of buying the 2020 Subaru Forester Touring?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Subaru Forester Touring 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. Before you buy the 2020 Subaru Forester Touring, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Before you sign for the Forester

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Its combined rating is 8.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 25 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $38.13 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

When the Forester makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

A week with the Forester answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.71 in fuel.

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Touring with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
