I liked the WRX a lot. I don't like the IC scoop.
Very possibly my next car. I tend to move slow when buying a car and will probably talk myself out of it but it was quick and light. My car felt like a pigboat when I got back in it.

Default I agree...

everytime after driving another car, my car feels like a pigboat, it seems that the engine is not responsive, and the brakes feel sluggish...

Default Audi to Subaru, that's certainly taking a step down in class

a big one. There is a lot more to cars then speed. On the other hand if that's what you care about go for it, it'sa great deal, check out the car and driver issue where they test it against the s4 and the bmw330 all wheel drive, they rated it higher then the bmw.

Default It's a great car!

My friend just bought one and loves it!

I'm not too big on driving things for their class value, so I would get one in a flash.

Isn't Subaru going to release a more powerful version soon?
