Need advice: 2023 Subaru Forrester Sport vs 2023 Corolla Cross XLE?

I am being offered 33k for the sport (+TTL) and 31k for the Cross (+TTL). Both are AWD and Black!

Personally I wouldn't trust any new Subaru with the whole oil burning thing.

wow,, that would be enough to scare me away lol
So, my options (what is available). Just need advice/thoughts. I like the cross, I just think it might be priced slightly of its class, even though its the premium version?

2023 Rav4 Woodland: 37800 after tax/markups..
2023 Corolla Cross XLE 33200 after tax. No markups, some accessories added
2023 Subaru Forrester Sport 35,000 after tax.

If you need more space then go for the rav4, my wife has one and it rides a lot rougher/sportier than my corolla cross. The cross rides almost similar to my 2020 camry, smooth but don't take corners too fast. 😉
The rav4 has a normal 8 speed transmission and the corolla cross and forester have a cvt. If you’ve never driven a car with a cvt before then it would take you a week to get used to how a cvt behaves, at least that’s how long it took me to get used to having my rpm stay steady in one place while the car picks up speed. 😁
The forester is starting to look it’s age by now, maybe Subaru have plans to release a newer bodied Forester. Worth looking into….don’t you just hate it when you get a new car and a newer revised or totally new one gets released a few weeks or months after. 😳
The forester is actually in the same class as the rav4 so the corolla cross should be compared to the Crosstrek.
