Nissan X-Trail vs Subaru Forester: Which is better?

Which is the better choice, a 2013 Nissan X-Trail with 100,000 km in good shape versus a 2013 Subaru Forester with 40,000 km in very good shape when the price is $10,000 for the X-Trail and $20,000 for the Forester?

The Nissan’s price is on the money for a private sale, although the mileage is at the top end of the range. The Subaru’s price is above the top end of the quoted value for the model, which is probably due to its very low odo reading. Generally, the one with the lower odo would be the one to go for, but when it’s double the price of the other you really have to want it to hand over the extra cash.

Here and now the X-Trail would be the better value.
