I didn't mention during acceleration, but let's leave it there.
Not sure why a car that is praised for its handling ability, has now a garbage weight distribution. 911's have an even more garbage weight distribution with the majority of the total weight on the rear, but they have worked with suspension geometry for decades and they are well established in car's history.
Subaru have their expertise on building boxer engines and it is what is. They don't have the capacity having different engine designs. I am mentioning it again that they even had a big trouble moving into direct injection! Something that looks a "fix" for you, could mean a (financial) disaster for them.

Yet Porsche's entry level vehicle has to be continually neutered in order to keep it from dethroning their halo 911, in just what, 10-15 years of existence, vs 60? They can't accept they made a mistake putting all that mass behind the rear axle, so they engineer around it.
