I'd rather have the utility and comfort that come with a Forester. The Crosstrek only looks sporty, IMO.subarup8 said:I have a 15 year old Outback legacy limited only 145,000 - love it and still running great. And a 2005 Forester my son has driven since he got his license 10 years ago. I want, don't need, want a new Subaru and am torn between the Crosstek and 2016 Forester. Or maybe I should wait for the 2016 CT. In either case I'm going Limited. The forester power front seat with adjustable lumbar, large sun/moon roof and auto tail gate vs the sportier looking Crosstek? The CT rides a little bouncier but the manual override is fun. The forester feels a little more grown up...what to do??? Or be sensible and drive that Outback into the ground!

Your fuel economy will be almost the same, but your back will thank you for getting the Forester. If safety is important, the visibility out of the Forester is crucial.5

The Forester felt as big to drive as my wife's 2015 Outback, but as noted, visibility is excellent. The larger engine also helped.
