Default You must have the auto? Because, with the 5-speed, I don't see the allroad catching up at all.

As for the suspension, I believe the STI suspension will bolt right on. Then there's the brakes-- neither can brag about that.

I have not test driven the XT although I was very interested. I used to own a '98 Forester and would be happy to own another. Forester XT in 5-speed is NOT available with leather and sunroof. This was the deal breaker for me.

Default Any car without an immobilizer (STI) is not an option for me. I had my S4 stolen twice and I will

not be victimized again. It's between the new Legacy GT and the Evo. We have a one year old and are expecting another child this fall (Oct),so, the smart thing would be to get the Legacy. But then again, the babies will not be spending too much time in my car, regardless of what I get.

Default I've driven both and prefer the EVO, but it's interior is extra cheap

but the STI is a rattle trap, may look better but build quality is not there.

Default Hemi configured RWD comes to around $34K well configured

But the Hemi will have some of the worst fuel mileage.

Default real easy to switch power to fuel pump in a hidden place and then they could steal car piece by piec

e, but they couldn't drive off with it.i think a new or used(depending on budget) allroad 6 speed is a much better idea. ghetto downpipes and exhaust w/chip and you'll be in the 13's (1/4) for less then 1000 dollars. eventually someone will come out w/budget k04 kit for allroad and you'll be in the 12's
