While I agree it's not as good as a WRX it's not as bad as you would think. With some suspension mods it's will be OK. It really needs better tires, seems to be a Subaru theme. I can get them to spin at a launch too easly.

Here isa good review:

Yet, if one was prepared to let the Forester slide its way across the tarmac, the XT easily hung on to the WRX around the race track. The smooth and abundant supply of torque proved to be a great benefit when combined with all wheel drive and a limited slip rear differential.

That's where I went yesterday to look at one. They have one in stock right now. Hey, you won't believe this, they actually have it marked at MSRP.

It's black with an auto. I really didn't like the auto. The damn thing shifts right when you dont want it to.

They're looking for a white one with a manual tranny for me now.

I test drove one at Maita a few weeks back with Chris (DoDo Brown). Pretty impressive. It was a stick, too. But it definitely NEEDS suspension work. I would buy it, but I love my WRX wagon too much.
