I came from a 1997 Impreza Brighton 5spd and 1998 Honda Civic and 2006 TSX(which I traded in for the BRZ-eh), needless to say this car is very luxury compared to the 90s car that I currently have but I sure do miss the K24(Sounded like Takumi's AE86 Initial D).
Pros
- Stiffy suspension
- Superior handling (low center of gravity)
- Responsive steering wheel
- Smooth clutch
- Front field of vision is superior
- adequate torque and power
- Looks good especially when turning
- Raised fenders gives you confidence and lets you know how close you are to the walls etc.
Cons
- Clutch engagement is very sensitive, meaning that if I screw up just a little bit with rev matching then the car will jerk a little. I have driven my friend's 2005 WRX and it never does that and I can release the clutch without ever getting a jerk even when I didnt perfectly rev match.
^ The point is that it just takes a while to get use to it which I get it right about 85% of the time.
- Boxer engine only rumbles with UEL headers(Someone has to invent rumble w/o UEL by now)
- Lots of blind spots from left and right which can be dangerous especially at night or early mornings when it is still dark out(Highly recommend you get those convex side mirrors)
Note: Road noise is tolerable, car drives perfectly fine in the rain if you drive easy, discipline is the key if you want to keep it steady. A good place to practice perfection is GT5 Academy using a steering wheel.
