If its you buy the Avensis, if its him let him have his Forester. Kwani hii financially independence women keep telling us they have tutaiona lini? Are you splitting the cost? If he is more than averagely adamant, let the guy have the Forester for the sake of peace ....there is a love affair between men and Subarus, you might deny him his wish now, you get the Avensis, only for him to spend some 1.5 mil and rock up with a Forester one evening without telling you. He is financing about 80% and I will help with 20% but we will own it 50-50,trust me dare he spend that money without my approval...still sweet talking him

From my vantage point, the way I see it, this is no longer about the car. It's now morphing into a power play. I could be wrong though, but then again....  Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

And fyi so many ladies are driving and looking good in the Forester. If that does not convince you, think safety, the Subaru has much better traction on the road, is easier to handle, on highways so fast that overtaking is safer, can negotiate steep corners at speeds of up to 160kph and still handle safely (at that speed your Toyota will be taking off like a plane). The running costs of the 2 cars are basically the same.

mwambie gari la shamba ni pickup.
kataa kabisa, actually escalate the war from a cold one to a hot one, serve him with very hot food and add a small layer of cool food at the top of the plate and let him dig in, also change the instant shower switch from cool to hot.
let him know you are very serious. this hubby of mine loves to spend time in the shamba on weekends ,am contemplating of withholding landing rights and shutdown the airport hohoo this will not be taken kindly! Nowadays there is an oversupply of sex! TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

D4 engines (Most Avensis) are problematic and neither do i think a forester is a good car but of the two,the latter is a better devil. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@Mthaka, I've been solving these problems for nearly 2 decades .....this one is no brainer. Before you make hasty decisions, consider what is worse: driving a Forester or having a deserted airstrip where no one lands. As for @faa, and most jamaas, with a Forester, he will be spoilt for choice on the number of airstrips beckoning him to land. The two vehicles are bad choices though. The diplomat's option is one term car ....where one takes his pick now and the other party picks the replacement when that times comes. With 80% contribution tyranny of numbers will suggest he makes the first choice "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

I actually have access to the two cars, and the avensis takes the day confort wise luxurious interior, the 2 liter engine is powerful, but the car is very low and can't go of road, the subaru I have the 2009 one can go off road not very powerful compared to it's size, the interior not very impressive but well it's a good car To Each His Own
