this car is likely being sold at the test drive. if these components would have increased the feel in a significant way, they would have been there. obviously this is all my opinion but still. :happy0180:

Yes, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Toyota/Subaru set out from the onset to design a sports car. Instead a people mover, like a Camry. I'd put money down that the use of the "Prius" tires was the sole result of the fact that Toyota had a large supply from the Prius bin and the tire just coincidentally fit the size mandated by the engineers.
