Winnie vs Forester, thoughts?
Greetings. Still hammering away at various options in the C category. DW really likes the floorplan of the following two models (see below). With the length, I am worred about drivability. I did test drive the MinWin, highway and city (empty weight) and it handled fine, even in light winds and going past a few big rigs. Test driving the Forester Sunday. I could not find axle weights on Forester models. On the "pissed consumer" website, there are 233 complaints against FR and 36 against Wbago. Sounds like manufacture support is poor from FR. Would really like to hear some comments about these models, especially from folks that have them. Is length too long for chasis? Thanks folks.
