@clems, I have seen that top gear review,it puts the forester up there. 10 Subaru Forester (UP) Engine/Gearbox Reliability Electrical Reliability Brakes/Suspension/Steering Fit/Finish Squeaks/Rattles Performance Handling Comfort/Practicality Customer Care Ownership Costs But still i don't get how the turbo consumes better than the non-turbo on long distance am also wondering which one is better in cases of town running. turbo or non turbo. Again is the consumption rate significant. Calamities are of two kinds: misfortunes to ourselves,and good fortune to others

Ok,the good side of SK Sorry,Wazua. Had wanted to get an IO but seems opinions are low on it (what is wrong about it no one says). Back to drawing board. Also need a 4x4 but a mwananchi one not the guzzlers.Guess we all learn something everyday. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

@popi, I wonder why you left out CRV?
Anyway among what you have listed:
1. Forester - for power, do yo need this power? Also you can only sell to specific group of people.
2. X-rail - only class, but worst in everything else including durability and resale value. You can sell this thing for a whole year!
3. IO - moderate performance, family car, cool car, moderate re-sale value. For people who want to mind their own business.
I advice you to go for Forester if you are aggressive person, or IO if you're cool person.

This is my opinion: Nissan X-Trail - poor in many areas Subaru Forester - best in Performance, poorest in fuel economy and scqueezed back seats and smaller boot Toyota RAV4 - best ride & beautify, overpriced and squeezed back seat (tall person struggles) and smaller boot Honda CR-V - best ride, most comfortable, most durable, most stable. Extra weight contributes to stability.

In addition, it lacks class and durability look really.

In that case I don't know about Outlander.

@Alph, its in the CRV, Xtrail, Rav4, Forester category, but I must say its so delightful and well engineered. Rugged yet smooth, powerful and fast. IMO, it beats the rivals in more ways than one, comfort, economy and design.

Can also consider a Kluger have had it for 3 years and can’t complain; stable, good fuel economy, power, space, with only normal servicing for that period.. Cool ride so far
