Subaru Forester 2.5 XT's 0-60 time of 5.3 seconds ties Porsche Boxster S and is better than that of most other sports cars :-
BMW Z4 (5.5) Honda S2000 (5.7) Mazda RX8 (6.4) Mercedes Benz SLK (6.9) Mustang GT (6.1) Nissan 350Z (5.4)
Although the Forester doesn't turn corners as fast as these sports cars it can probably turn faster than most (if not all) other SUV's and its 64 cuft of cargo space is very important for me.
