As long time Subaru owner (2001 Forester) - I wanted to buy a new Forester. But recent models don't handle as well in regular (highway) driving - and I have no use of increased ground clearance and increased size - so good bye Subaru. My 2011 Tiguan 4-motion handles very well - I understand that it could do worse in snow (than Forester) - but can live with it: I only drive to ski areas several times per year.
