weekend car, to go places, and most of the good places are off road, so likely 50/50. occasional longer motorway journey into france.
if there was a forester auto near me I would consider it.

Ok, I guess the question is “how off road?”, just gravel surfaced roads or proper green-laning?
If it’s gravel roads then I’d go for tyres specific to that terrain rather than a ladder frame 4x4, but if it’s deep ruts and steep ramps I’ve always liked the look of G-wagons, the older ones rather than the Crypto/Coke-bro AMG versions.

I’m going to suggest an automatic estate car that is a nice place to be and a cheap, agricultural 4x4 that is fired up when needed. Driving everywhere in a poor compromise based on a requirement that would be 5% of total driving is I submit sub-optimal. Unless you do the majority of your miles on unpaved mountain roads?
