To me, the torque dip is a minor annoyance. Daily driving around town, where I don't generally feel like revving the snot out of it, I think my stock BRZ has a nice amount of torque but I wish the useable torque band was a bit wider, i.e. I regularly shift just as the engine reaches the dip. Driving at higher speed on the highway, where I don't mind ringing it out, the torque is just fine.

The torque dip is only a big deal if you get caught in the wrong gear and need to accelerate. So the trick is not to get caught in the wrong gear! This car really makes you pay attention.
