Very Nice!

Didn't we have a member on the board who drove a 2004 or so Forrester?

nah, this shiznit is the shiznit, can't pack that much of camping stuff into a Impreza sedan. This fills the bill, you can pack all the stuff in for camping, and really fast for running away from a family of bears.

The white version looks sharp on the outside, but the interior looks like a coal mine.

Yes, the 2.5XT is already one helluva sleeper. i want to know what the mechanical advantages are between the XT and the STi.

Oh, and Cpt. Bone, it was AdrianXT (formerly WantaNewLex) who has the 04 (?) 2.5XT.
