Forget the Mazdas...petrol guzzlers extraordinaire, both.
Dave, you should PM Sarpia who's on this site... he (ie his wife) previously had a Toureg and recently updated to a Tribeca...I'm sure he would have some useful feedback.
My GF just bought a Forester (hopefully pick it up today)...they are an excellent package too and more spacious than the predecessor...we investigated and test drove a lot of cars in that medium SUV class and the Forester came up trumps as the best all round package.
