am torn between the two,
Pathfinder is beautiful yes and competes with Prado so no comparison with forester. lakini it has a bumpy ride because it is based on the navara platform. wasee wa nissan simply put a body on the navara chassis. they may have changed that in the latest models. True... body on the Navara Chassis = Pathfinder... likewise, Toyota hilux = Surf, Mitsubishi outlander/pajero sport = L200.... but later models have made significant improvements. As for comparing a Pathfinder and a Prado... different classes. The Prado is Superior. Its easier to compare the Prado with a Pajero. Not sure which Nissan would fall in the same group. @Jk.... Agreed, Pathfinder is not in the same category as Forester and Kluger but its more in the class of Pajero/Honda CRV/Mitsubishi Outlander/Nissan X-trail. The Hilux Surf (4Runner) is in the category of Mitsubishi Sport. @Wilyum, widen your criteria to include: CRV, Outlander, RAV4, KIA, X-Trail, Freelander 2

CRV is out for me due to the dashboard, don't like it. RAV 4 is also out due to the shape and that back spare tyre, very ugly kwanza iking'olewa. XTRAIL, also out on dashboard and handling is not smooth. KIA, unknown problems, cant tell and don't knw a gud mechanic around. FREELANDER, just don't like it..... options left, FORESTER, VANGHARD, OUTLANDER, KLUGER in order of preference now.

Go for the Forester since you are already driving one.
You will have peace of mind.

Compared to the Subaru Forester 2009 model it's more tougher, more powerful and faster.It's also in a class of it's own..that class where you dont fall into a category like sub enthusiasts.
More raised to the ground,spacious hardy and offers a panaroma view....
Offroad you cant compare it to the harrier, its more serious on that department.The harrier 2400cc beats it on one aspect..comfort .
However,it a bit pricey that the subaru... Kluger more powerful and faster than Subaru Forester 2008/09? Boss that car is one of the worst ideas that Toyota came up with. The engine struggles to carry the body and tail spin and under steer make it a very dangerous car to attempt to speed in. Please take each of the two for a spin and come back to Wazua to report the results.

i have experience with subaru,currently driving one and also have had experience of toyota nze.
Consider Nissan Pathfinder in your comparisons @jk, have never paid attention to nissan, but why this pathfinder?, can i find it japan?, i know ur more inclined towards UK than japan. I find the Pathfinder very appealing in looks and design. it is also well equipped and has a better (stable) drive than either klugar or forester.... I welcome differing opinions on this. it is not the top selling car in its segment,... (unlike the Nissan Navara being a good seller) but it’s a package worth considering if off-road ability is important to you. Yes it is available in Japan but seems more expensive and less equipped in terms of trim and features than you would find in the ones in UK. & Yes I am definitely biased (UK - knowing which side 'my' bread is buttered). Pathfinder is beautiful yes and competes with Prado so no comparison with forester. lakini it has a bumpy ride because it is based on the navara platform. wasee wa nissan simply put a body on the navara chassis. they may have changed that in the latest models. Really? Asi!!! Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

@Jk,what of land rover..discovery,defender etc..? Hizo ni kubwa... Wilyum was comparing Forester na klugar. So I figured why not throw in Pathfinder which is slightly bigger than a klugar Discovery is much larger.
