Why should I also consider these?

The sales leaders in this class, in addition to the stalwart Ford Escape, include the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

The CR-V has been completely redesigned for 2012, with a somewhat improved interior and better fuel economy, plus a quieter interior.

The Toyota RAV4 now remains one of the most dated designs in this class, yet it's one of the few that packs a small third row--and there's an available V-6.

Nissan's Rogue also has a well-executed interior, a smooth ride, and a spacious layout, but the driving experience isn't anything special.

The Dodge Journey is another alternative; last year, Chrysler gave it a thorough refresh inside, and it's comfortable, refined, and spacious inside; its four-cylinder powertrain is still behind the pack in terms of refinement.

Another possibility is the Jeep Patriot; though somewhat smaller than the Forester, the Patriot has a comparable utilitarian aesthetic--and it costs quite a bit less.

 
2012 Dodge Journey
Practical without being too prim, the 2012 Dodge Journey cuts an interesting figure and spans the gulf between compact crossovers and family-grade SUVs.
 
2012 Honda CR-V
The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs.
 
2012 Jeep Patriot
The 2012 Jeep Patriot is a compelling choice for its versatile interior, maneuverability, and strong list of features—with just a bit of weekend-warrior ruggedness—but it's woefully short on refinement or sophistication.
 
2012 Nissan Rogue
The 2012 Nissan Rogue's comfortable ride and versatile layout make it a good fit for a value-conscious small families--but it's far from exciting to drive.
 
2012 Toyota RAV4
The 2012 Toyota RAV4 remains a strong, refined choice for families, even though some of its design might be a blast from the past.
