i have to agree with you on this one. i had it's cousin (V6 Tribute) which was rated at 200HP. when i test drove the '05 Forester XT (rated at 210HP), it felt like it had so much more power than the Tribute. either the Tribute's HP was overrated, or the XT's power underrated, or maybe both. curb weights are the same.
