I have one ( 2001 JDM S/tb ), there are a couple of others on here too.
240ps ( 236bhp ) out of the box (uk model is 177bhp) ..., mod it like you would a MY00 , bit more soft to drive than my old bugeye, and understeers to buggery on standard tyres and suspension setup. Sorted with the bigger rear arb off the WRX and a set of 17"s & tyres to match. Only 2 pots at the front, but 4 pots bolt straight on if you have clearance on the wheels ( another reason to get 17's )

jackblack,
i owned a 2001 forester turbo uk spec 177 bhp,
check out top gears jd power survey,
beats any other 4x4 by a mile, handles corners like impreza,
as comfy as legacy, huge load area and 0-60 of 7.4,
superb piece of kit with good residual values,
subaru do same ppp for it aswell,
highly recommended,
