Holy hell, it pulled. Shifted to "second" and it kept going. Instant throttle response, no delay. The thing has a bit of torque on the low end half of the rev range. I was smiling, never thought an SUV would cause that..

Any car can have TQ and decent gearing to feel that way. Especially in lower gears. It still isnt anything if it can handle a little bit at least.
I have always loved the the 04-06 Forestor XT but would be afraid to actually own one cuz I hate driving big cars, even family sedans. So while people love them (its basically the sti chassis and engine with a smaller turbo) it does have that higher center of gravity and may still let me down. And you know what they say about meeting your heros
