Most reviewers are pleased with the 2010 Subaru Forester’s generous legroom, but the crossover’s styling can't escape some criticism from nearly all the road testers. Last year’s introduction of the then all-new Subaru Forester saw the boxy crossover grow substantially in size...

Other Choices:

The class leader remains the roomy Honda CR-V, but its most recent styling update is somewhat controversial and the Honda won't wake up anyone's driving enthusiasm. The Mitsubishi Outlander is a good alternative for those who like good, carlike handling in a tall wagon; however, its interior is even more of a letdown. Nissan's Rogue also has a well-executed interior, a smooth ride, and a spacious layout, but the driving experience isn't anything special. The Toyota RAV4 has an optional V-6 and available third-row seating. The Dodge Journey crossover was introduced about the same time as the current-generation Forester, and like the Subaru, it comes well equipped and offers plenty of space. However, its powertrain leaves a lot to be desired, and it’s seriously lacking in the quality department.
