It would be the perfect car for upstate NY. Fast, good handling, plenty of room in the back, and it's awd. Perfect for winter.

I even noticed that it's curb weight is under that of the regular STi.

I want. :)

Just get the normal Forester XT.

It has a detuned STi motor, just lacks the suspension goodies, which I"m sure can be swapped out.

You should ask Mr Mergen...he answers all the emails and has a fair bit of knowledge about Subaru marketing....He works at the nice office near cherry hill a mile or so from the main office. 2nd floor I think. Haven't been there in a long time.

Edit: Just email SOA. Not sure if they can patch you through if you call though.

My coworker drives a forrester, the front passenger seat's pretty cramped and my legs aren't even extra long. Got plenty of headroom though.

I drive a Miata now. I'm sure anything will have plenty have of room.

I don't like the looks of the WRX STis. THis Forester version looks great. It''s a bit aggressive, but doesb't have the huge wing and econobox look.
