2. Honda CRV.
3. Rav 4.
4. Nissan X-Trail.
Which is the better/worse buy and why

forrester, without a doubt
and the transition from impreza to forrester is painless, the forrester handles less civilized roads far better than an impreza, yet maintains all of the qualities that make us love the impreza, except for that turbo... but that can be fixed :-D
the nissan x-trail (i'm assuming thats the uk equivalent of the xterra) is a solid vehicle too, i'd go for that as well (dunno why, but girls around here dig those, must be the hump)

They all hold the values pretty well, agreed the Japanese should give good reliabilty but the Freelander cant be discounted as the newer versions are good and still made by THE off roader company 'Land Rover'.
As with all of them never buy new but source a good 2nd hand one with as many toys as possible.
Ohh and go for a diesel as the economy on the petrol versions in all of them is comparable with a Subaru driven aggressively.
