well let's see...
 
1) it's a model-year old
2) the current model has cosmetic changes. (I'm not sure if they are improvements, hehe.)
3) the current model has a much nicer 2.5L turbocharged engine
 
I'd say #3 is the biggest reason.

Sounds good to me.
 
I prefer the 2.5T engine as well, but you can't get it for that kind of price, and the 2.0T is probably a lot more fuel efficient.

No, it's actually not.. unless you never use more than 1/3 of the gas pedal and thereby avoid ever making positive boost.

Really?
 
In the XT, fuel efficiency has been a common complaint, but to be fair that is a Forester, which is heavier and less aerodynamic.

The Forester XT 5 speed manual also has much more aggressive gearing than the WRX 5 speed manual. Drive them back to back; the WRX's 3rd gear is a ton "taller". It's geared like a Civic for an attempt at gas economy... which largely was unsuccesful in my opinion.

GETT'N IT by iyamada

Thanks guys for the advice. Looks like I might get the car if no one bought it, which i doubt. One more question. Which color rally blue or black? Im not really sure which one i should get. The blue is easier to take care of, but the black looks hella sick. This is the hardest decision I've ever made. Help me out guys.

Be honest, now, how often do you wash your car? Black requires a lot of care, so go Blue if the answer is "once a year, when it rains."

Got it today,
06 pearl blue STI, 16 miles on the odo when I left with it.
 
THis break in period is going to be tough. BIG change from the Acura I was driving, but I love the change.
