It is quite frankly a spectacular handling car (with the sport package). The reinforcing of the structure, the use of the same steering as the BRZ and the torque vectoring gives it a feel that rivals the FRS in a turn.
I didn't think I would ever say these words in my life but the new gen CVT tranny isn't any slouch either. Of course at 152HP it is no speed demon but for a sporty and fun grocery getter it works just fine.
The quality, fit, finish and appointment of the interior and body panels is so far ahead of the previous gens that it can be hard to remember that it is a Subaru.
The appearance is a bit mundane from the sides and rear but no doubt that will be beefed up a bit when they make the upgraded version.
A WRX or STi version will be very popular I am sure (even if they will be marginally bigger yet again).
