Well, it appears to be one of the most practical-and-still-fun cars on the market.

I do happen to have a problem of getting into non-bimmer cars and immediately being non-impressed with the feel of the materials, craftmanship, and road "interconnectedness".

Can you give a quick review and compare its "feel" to that of your bimmer?

Thanks!

I replaced a 2004 MCS with the Forester. Loved the MCS but found it impractical for my use. The Forester is loads of fun and surprisingly nimble for such a tall car. Fit and finish is good, materials are as should be expected at the price point.

Our second car is a Forester, non Turbo. It's a great family car, and drives very well for a SUV.

I have driven the XT. Very fast. Faster than a 330i. Brakes well, but the suspension is made for comfort.
