I had a 2005 Vibe. Tranny went after 60,000kms. Up until the 2009's they were gutless unless you bout the sport version, which was only 2wd and used premium fuel. It was roomy, but I had problem after problem with it.
Between your choices I'd go with the Subie. A buddy of mine has a forrester and loves it. I test drove a 2010 turbo and man to they have some get up and go.
Also, the Mazda 3 wagons are great.
