our 2020 Forester is a good SUV but lacks fro t cabin room, tight seating to wheel space, and lack of road visibility. I will go to the Crosstex for my next car.

Love the Forester! So good drive and comfort. Of course there is some downsides as well. E.g. the Euro spec model (e-Boxer) fuel tank capacity is way too small currently. But at least North American version has a bigger fuel tank.

RAV4 GET THE HYBRID
CX5 VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY GET THE TURBO ONE
FORESTER IT IS GREAT FOR EVERYTHING OFF ROAD AND SNOW SYMETRICAL AWD
CRV PLENTY OF INTERIOR ROOM AND GREAT BUILD QUALITY BUT TURBO ( OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS)
OVERALL I would go for either toyota or mazda . Mazda is a better deal in terms of price and equipment. Rav4 has great resale value but more expensive and less equipment.
