I'm not trying to push this particular vehicle (much ), just making sure you look at all the options.
The last model year for the Tribute was 2011.

I personally would do the Crosstek over the Forester (and either over the Toyotas). Has your mom driven any of them? I think the best way to decide would be letting her decide from the 4 you've narrowed it down to. One thing to consider is how easy it is to get into and out of each car. It may not be any issue now, but something to consider for 5 or 10 years down the road.
