I'm trying to decide on buying a car either Subaru Forester or Subaru Outback. Which would you buy?

Both are nice but I would go with the outback. Both are nice to drive, good handling and safe. The AWD system is the same on both. Head room is good in both. The forester is taller and shorter wheelbase. The outback has a longer wheelbase that gives you are smoother ride. I would suggest you take both for a good test drive and see which one would fit your needs best. The Forester has a base 2.5 litre 4 cylinder engine that gives 173 HP. The Out back the same. You can get a turbo on both models which give around 250 hp or the Outback has a 6 cylinder which can give the same 250 hp. Good Luck!
