After 7 years I am finally looking to change my car.  My old Subaru Forester has done 190,000 miles and is looking the worse for wear so here's the dilemma....

1) I want something a bit special; but not something that shouts 'what a cunt' or 'fucking pikey' or 'Motobility'. 
2) I live in the sticks; so something with 4 wheel drive
3) I have two dogs; so something with load space
4) I want something sporty (proper sporty not just look sporty); but not a Range Rover Sport or other WAG cars (see point 1)
5) I've got a decent budget; but hate depreciation

What should I buy?!?

a new forester,

Thought about that but they no longer make the STI version which means the performance is wank - if they did then there would be no discussion

Volkswagen Touareg

Certainly a contender - they just revamped it as well which goes in its favour.  Not sure f it can be classed as a WAG car or is proper sporty
