also if anyone has owned or at least driven the legacy and the forester a comparison would be amazing

I'm looking to buy a new car, its got to be practical (ie: estate), quick, not too common and ideally 4 wheel drive I've narrowed the options down to a Legacy 3.0R Spec B or a Forester 2.5 XT I've already done plenty of research into the Legacy but the Forester is a new option for me so I don't know too much about them other than they are pertty quick and if you can handle a bit of body role they handle well What I would like to know is what they're like on the motorway, with only 5 gears and acceleration like that I imagine the gearing is quite short, what are they like comfort wise on long journeys and what mpg can people get on the motorway? I'm looking at something around 2005 with 60k to 90k on the clock is there anything I should look out for or any major work I should check has been done (cam belt, etc) Thanks in advance for your advice
