Well, my initial impression is that you guys are smokin' yer Cheerios. My mom has an 02 Forester XS and it feels like a truck compared to my WRX, especially when it comes to handling.

BUT!! I have never driven an XT so I can not give a good comparison. Aside from the turbo how does the XT differ from the XS?
Hey Steve.
You need to go on a test drive.

Yes, the WRX is the better handler stock, but that's easily remedied. After my Rex was stolen, I traded it in for an FXT. I think I miss the bugeye's seats most of all. From my first test drive, I couldn't see going back to a 2.0. I wanted more power while maintaining my powertrain warranty.

I've also made good use of the larger cargo area and love the All Weather Package. Now I just have to get rid of the light truck tires.
