It's an awesome car. The power drops off significantly around 5000 RPM. But between 3000 and 5000 it's a beast and you don't have to work for the power like the BRZ. But in my humble opinion, the car is only about half as fun! I regret trading in the BRZ and Impreza for the WRX, but having 2 cars was a hassle for a single parent. I do hope to get another BRZ in the next couple years and only drive it in the warm months
