Maybe you should buy mine then Steve.
It's got less power than the Hearse and already gets used on a daily basis, including for tip runs, etc. so you wouldn't need to feel guilty!
I'm thinking of changing cars in the new year, so it may be for sale soon.
In terms of XT's, in standard guise they don't seem to have the same issues as the Imprezas. If people push them it tends to manifest in head gasket issues.
As a general rule, Forester owners find the whole 2.5 "chocolate" engine comments quite funny as it does appear to be a different experience.
If you have a nose on subaruforester.org, you should get a feel for it... particularly if you look at the Europe section.
