Hey all - any thoughts on the new forester xt as a vehicle for hauling bikes around (and using for city driving too)? We've always stayed away from big heavy SUVs, but would like something with more adventuring capabilities than a hatchback!

Never owned a forester before, or a subie for that matter, but I've seen them mentioned as decent cars for mountain bikers before. Seems like its got a decent whack of horsepower, and ground clearance is good for the inevitable logging/backcountry roads when getting out to trails. But I'm not sure about the whole CVT thing. Supposedly this new(?) CVT is much better than previous, but who knows. Be good to get some thoughts/experiences on the matter, cheers
