"Better" for your likes maybe, that does not make it "better" overall. You changed the suspension to suit you and that is fine but it does not mean the old one is not preferred by other people.
The traction and stability controls are all made for unskilled rivers or even skilled drivers driving under normal condition. That is why they can be toned down by a simple push of a button or turned right off by the pedal dance. No doubt though if you turned them off and curbed the car you would find some way that it was the chassis' fault not yours.

No, better objectively. By no standard is the earlier car as good as the 2017 version. If anyone actually prefers the older suspension they just don't understand how suspension is supposed to work. I do.
Even Subaru knows they made a mistake with the first version. The FRS was the worst with its harder rear springs, the GT86 was a bit better and the BRZ best but not until 2017 did they fix the serious deficiency in their choice of rear spring rate. I realized this within a few weeks of buying mine. It took nearly four years for anyone to build the correct rate rear springs to fix the problem. Most buyers had to resort to lowering springs or fitting stiffer springs front and rear to get the chassis to work properly, both of which solutions were incorrect.
