Hmmm. I hope Toyota tweaks the suspension for the 2016's to address these concerns. At least my wife is driving an 11 Accord coupe so she's used to above average firm rides. I drive a clunker in an 02 Civic whose frame had started to squeak here and there.

Wrong.

Both RAV and Forester score equal in IIHS ranking but Forester scores higher in NHTSA, JNCAP and EuroNCAP tests. So if you look at the results from all four testing bodies, Forester scores better. Moreover, IIHS is a non-governmental body that "advises" the insurance industry (and does a lot of publicity), while NHTSA, JNCAP and EuroNCAP are official governmental institutions which ultimately decide which cars are allowed on the streets or not. IIHS scores are very vague (intended for the general uneducated public), while NHTSA, JNCAP and EuroNCAP provide much more precise numeric score (if you take the time to read the details).

Some people watch and episode of "House" and think that makes them medical doctors and experts. So take some time to educated yourself before you make another statement that only shows how little you know about cars and crash tests.

So your Subaru is better than your previous RAV4 in these ways?

• better crash safety ratings
• less jarring ride
• slightly better fuel economy
• price for the amount of features

Anything else to add to the list?
