Smooth riding vehicles???

[Jun aka Pekto]

Oh... forgot about the Forester... very good suspension that one... good control... good damping, pretty long stroke...

I tend to agree. The thick tires of the Forester should provide a smooth ride. But, I'd take the XT because it's guaranteed to have a suspension tout enough to handle quick takeoffs and fast cruising. The normally aspirated version may not be as well-equipped. I could be wrong though. I haven't test-driven the N/A version.
