They are slower than they could be. The 2017 fixes all that. By changing the front to rear spring rates they have pushed the roll resistance balance forward onto the front axle. They have also improved the quality of the damping and changed the damping rates.
I have yet to drive a 2017 but all the reports are favourable. Since my car is setup almost exactly the same as the current 2017 and now handles perfectly I expect the 2017 is as good as everyone says it is.
I hope that is a helpful answer to your question.
Oh, one further thing. The factory has not changed the rear suspension geometry correctly. It will be the cost that is stopping them. Fortunately the Australians have a fix. Australians are big fans of Subarus and racing, they know what they're about.
