2011 Subaru Impreza WRX or 2011 Subaru Forester XT(Turbo)?

I just bought a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Premium sedan but have been having double thoughts since where I live in Chicago there tends to be a lot off traffic and driving a manual car can get a bit annoying in those situations and also since before I had bought the car I had only driven stick shift twice though now haven driven the WRX for three weeks I feel much more confident. My question is which car is better? The WRX or the Forester XT. The Subaru Impreza WRX has 265 horse power, 0-60mph of 4.7 seconds and a quater mile time in the mid 13s. While the Forester XT has 226 horse power which isn't too bad, 0-60mph in the mid 6 second range and quarter mile in the mid 14 range. I like the looks of the WRX but I also like the cargo capacity and driving height of the Forester XT plus its a sleeper and if I mod the turbo in the Forester Im pretty sure it can be almost as fast as the WRX and no one would believe me until they witnessed this. The XT comes in automatic(4 speed which kinda sucks but Ive heard its still good) which is also part of the reason Im considering it for the heavy traffic here. Which car would your recommend and why? How much horse power can I get off the XT safely? BTW I just turned 21, single, no kids, so its a hard choice and would like to know which car and why? I also like the huhe moon roof on the Forester XT, but looks wise the WRX.
