Having never driven a Forester XT or WRX, my initial preference is for an Outback XT.

That said, I'd consider any of the 3. WRX 5-door only, as I'm not a fan of the Sedan.

Probably not interested in black exterior color, nor extremely light interior.

I also might consider a 6-cylinder, but right now I think I'd prefer the turbo.

Don't forget the Saab 9-2x Aero then. WRX wagon with swankier interior and saab-esque sheetmetal on the front/rear. Driveline/suspension is 100% subaru, and they're tyupically cheaper than a WRX.

Black is sexy and outback xt is the way to go.
