I bought the type S diesel because It gives me the combination of what I want from a vehicle,namely the ability to go round corners quickly and safely,provide 'instant' and effortless acceleration when I want it,brilliant economy and running costs,great looks and trouble free reliability.
If I should ever need a 'jeep' type vehicle,which I can't see I ever should,a Subaru's probably as good as any of the others

Thanks the Forester is less in your face than most other 4x4s; it is a slightly raised estate in my opinion. I agree that the Type S diesel has a fantastic engine but the ride and handling are nowhere near as smooth as the Forester; the Civic is reliable and looks good I agree but the paintwork? Dash? Economy? Are they top notch? After 8300 miles in my Type S, I think it is a good car but not great. We'll see what the Forester is like in 6 months. I did test a CRV but it is pretty average inside, though it has a handsome exterior. My wife says the Forester is a man's car and she has now adopted the Type S as hers!
