The lower speeds make the size and aerodynamics meaningless at least. My sweet spot is around 35 mph as the forester has low gears and bad aerodynamics. Just fast enough to idle around in 5th gear.
I've been to Perth which seemed to me exactly like any US city, that was back in 1998 so maybe they haven't kept pace with growth but back then the roads seemed pretty easy.
