As for the other issues definitely suspension for the noises and possibly even struts and strut mounts. For my exhaust the donut gasket was dead back where the center pipe connects to the muffler even the clamp for it was broken, it wasn't loud or horrible sounding like when my legacy had a leak, but it wasn't quiet and smooth either.
No, I haven't seen the power light come on yet. Maybe when the trauma from the temp gauge experience wears off I will push it a little. But, really, I bought this car more because it is a Subaru than because it is a sports car. I just liked the Subarus from this era.
