Very true - I have heard 330bhp is a good level in both 2wd and 4wd if you don't want standard power. If you are used to a modern 265bhp Subaru I'm sure you'd find that acceptable performance wise. If you can get one with sensible suspension mods ( Ahmed Bayjoo springs and Koni adjustables, a 6 degree rear beam etc ) it will be a nice useable everyday car providing it is well rust-proofed underneath
