Hmmm, when I plug the base Forrester into carsdirect.com, I get a price of $20,750. You could add a LOT of optional equipment for another $4k. I think you can get the "LL Bean" edition (way tarted up) for inside of $25k, too. And AFAIK, the Forrester is an SUV, not a wagon.
On the safety end of things, I agree with you about not wanting to be nannied to death, but I'd also rather not die in an accident. Give me a 3500+ pound car with airbags aplenty, ABS, stability control, good crash test records, and very low bodily injury IIHS track record. I'll skip the onstar and all that other junk.
