New DD for the old lady and babies- $15k, she has 4 top runners.

That's partly why I suggested the Forrester. They depreciate slightly faster than the CRV, Quality is equal, better crash ratings, and I believe equal or better mpg.

The Forester is an awesome vehicle. But the one you're referencing with the great crash ratings, consumer reports top reliability, and 32 MPG is the 2014+ model year. They're not going to be in that $15000 range yet.

Probably right.

But historically have been top rated in crash ratings. And the forums note even the older models can crack 30mpg highway.
