With kid two leaving for college, we just downsized from a minivan to a small-ish SUV. We looked at a bunch of them and it came down to Honda CRV, Toyota RAV, and Subaru Forester. On paper all the cars in this class are clones of one another so it came down to which we liked the best. We drove the three of them twice, the second time back to back at neighboring dealers. The Subaru stood out. We’ve had it all summer and seriously love this car. We’ve had Hondas and Toyotas in the past but this is the first Subaru.
It was definitely not more expensive than the others. We were comparing the AWD subaru to FWD versions of the others because that feature wasn’t important to us (no snow here) and price was. The Subaru was still less expensive. Around here, it’s easier to spot in parking lots too, because there aren’t as many of them.
