FPMSL[] IF I'm gonna change from the Impreza it would deffo be another SUBARU and would need to have a bit of kick about it. "Chelsea Tractor" Welsho. Try one first mate Honest! You would be a LOT more impressed than you think bud!
I've had two Foresters in the past. One normally aspirated and one Turbo (PPP) and had A LOT of fun with them both.
Might even consider another PPP UK Forester tbh the two car thing is getting a bit much for moi. Was hoping to get rid of the Saxo when I got the new job BUT needing it more than I thought[]
Would be a lot easier (and I'd be much happier) taking the Forester to the places I need to go. So the Sti looked like a good combo for me.
Watch this space! Stealth Black might be the trick!

Ah well! In THAT case, go for it! Clearly you are thinking along practical lines with regard to change; an off roader with some kick-ass well, kinda the best of both worlds. When I said Chelsea Tractor, I wasn't classing the perfomace with other off roaders, just the outward appearance. For me, the Impreza stands out, it turns heads and people want to ask you about it all the time, etc, etc. The Forrester would have none of that appeal for me, and I really despise off-road type vehichles on our roads anyway, especially when driven by mums on the school run GRRRRRRR! Good luck if you go for it.
