Which one?
I'm contimplating a new car. I currently have an all stock '04 Legacy. I want to get a new car, but I'm torn. I want you to help me decide. I kind of want a wagon because I'll be driving cross country a couple more times. But I also want a sedan for more fun driving. So the options are above. And don't say Forester XT Sport cuz I want fog lights.

Thank you. That's what I'm leaning towards currently, but I'm having trouble finding a Manual. But every time I see/hear a peanut eye STi, I think, "OHHHhhhh I want one."

Whats wrong with your current car?Do you just want a new car? If so just use the legacy for the cross country trips and the STi for your spirited driving.

I can't afford to have two cars, nor do I have a place to store the extra. I'm itiching for something with more grunt (turbo). And I was advised against adding a turbo to my current motor. The legacy is fun to drive, but I'd like something that handled better.

sedan for more fun driving?
Do you know how many sedans I flew by on the hammy run and other suby runs I've been on.
Not much difference between say a wrx and a wrx wagon on fun to drive. Don't let that factor into your decision. And even the forester xt with new wheels and suspension are funner to drive than a stock legacy.

). I think a lowered XT would be fun.

and if you run even stock wrx wagon suspension I think it's like a 3 inch drop.

why do an sti swap? It's already got a 2.5 liter.
Just do some small manageable upgrades and you'd be at the same power as the sti.
doing a swap on a new car is retarded unless it's a track car.
unless you're talking suspension.....then yeah....that's a good one. But I'd do springs more designed for the weight of the forester.
