The Forester IS "really bad in handling and general feel" in comparison to the Tig (according to most people I've heard comment) and there are a number of people that have gone from X3 and even X5 to Tig because it's a better drive.

I'll be really interested to hear your end comparison because I suspect (if you're completely honest) you might be disappointed with the Sub after the build up you've given it. As I've said before I've yet to hear one person that's driven both suggest that the Sub is the one they'd own.

Good luck with your choice though, as you say "different strokes for different folks"

I mentioned DSG only as example I know that Tig has ordinary auto trans.
I don't care how many gears auto trans has it could be CVT as long as it is reliable and last over 200,000km with no problems. Only after that time the one can be a judge: what is better, if old 4sp. auto or a new 6sp. auto. I didn't road test Tig or Forester yet and you can be sure that I will post the honest comment when I do.
