I test drove an MT today and it felt a lot torquier than my 02 WRX at low RPMs. I didn't get a chance to wring it out since it wasn't broken in yet but even keeping it below 4k and just blasting around the back roads by my dealer I thought it was great, but that's just me. I defintiely prefer the power delivery of the BRZ to my WRX, even if it is less power you don't have to wait for it like you do in the WRX so it feels faster. If you want straight line speed it doesn't have it but it seems to have the perfect power and delivery for twisty back roads.
