should i buy an outback or forester?

will be buying a car soon,,pretty much settled on subaru for standard awd and safety scores.. i'm deciding between a forester turbo or outback 6 cylinder...seems like the forester is cheaper when comparably equipped but i read a lot of complaints on-line about foresters with excessive rattles and other issues..is this just a vocal minority or is the forester not built as well as an outback?? the 2010 outcack is a 1st year redesign which makes me nervous....any opinions??

    My preference would be the forester. Its a nicer looking vehicle. Both are subarus and are suppose to have bullet proof reliablity. So i wouldn't say one is worse than the other. They most probably are made on the same production line and share 80% of their components.

    Take each one for a drive and decide.

    Outback. Runs better on good roads, less fuel cons.
