[subeman90]

I have owned an OB and a Forester and I would say that the OB would win hands down over the Forester. I also think that the "newer" bodystyle would be the one to get. I drove an 05 LL Bean with the 3.0 in it and was in love with it.

I disagree with mike about the 99 Legacy SE. My parents had one and my ex-wife had one...neither of which was trouble free and both were sold before either had 85k on them. (tranny slips and oil leaks etc.)

I do agree with the other mike though...I like the all-road and I drove one once and thought it was one heck of a cool car (it really had some scoot for an automatic).
