Hi All, We are at the beginning of our odyssey to own a 4WD and are starting at the soft end as most of our time is restricted to the city
with 4WD'ing on weekends and holidays. Hope with time, experience (and money!) to upgrade to a more serious machine. Presently we
are deciding between a Nissan X-trail and Subaru Forrester which are very similar on test drives and write ups with performance off road.
Leaning towards X-trail due to cabin space and higher seating position for comfort on long trips. No doubt Subaru handles superbly
around bends whereas the X-trail rolls a bit and isn't as repsonsive. Can any of you good people who may own either give us an indication
of what we can REALLY do or expect off road with these?? Where could we actually get to? Want to be as adventurous as we can within
the limits of the class. Thanks alot - Yoda and family
