The '06 XT has a turbo engine. I believe it has 227 hp. If the HP is not a factor you may want to try the x or xs model, if they are still available. The handling and safety in comparison is better than other SUV's in its class. The AWD system is fantastic, you'll love it in the snow and in Connecticut winters you'll need it. Keep it on the regular maintenance schedule and it will last a long time, plus the resale value is pretty good. The only problem I encountered was, the alternator fried on one, that was a fluke for a new car.
The Forester sits higher than the Outback. The room and comfort level is alright, but the Subaru Outback is a little roomier and more comfortable. The price sounds good, is it brand new? Demo?

Great car. I had one that traded for an Outback and now my wife wants the Forester back. In terms of the price if you are not sure call 3-4 other dealers and get price quotes from them just keep the dealer honest they all buy them for the same price.

Dr Sam you are not offending me I prefer the Outback I thought it was quieter and more comfortable but my wife thinks the Forester is more comfortable. I guess to each is their own.

Patrick,the Forester is the safest small SUV you can buy. We get about 30 mpg with cruise on. Easy to enter and exit the vehicle as it sits at good height. Cons? The USA made Outback has a nicer interior design and material quality for about the same price.

For an opposing point of view (Sorry, Colin)...
I went to the dealer fully expecting to buy a Forester, but drove away in an Outback. It carries just as much junk and it's a much nicer car.
At least drive one...
