OK Ken

If you don't need the ball room, the '92 is the best bet.

BTW, I'm intrigued to hear it is not comfortable. I had planned to buy a Japanese Sti one with six speeds and improved suspension, but shied off it because the yearly road tax here is hyper-expensive with the high consumption 2.5 turbo engine.

Now I have come to the conclusion I need the Legacy twin scroll Spec B like my brother just bought last week. Rides good, no noise [with standard exhaust]

Decision made. 270 hp Forester Sti good; 270 hp Legacy Spec B better.
