A side note regarding my initial impression during my test drive:

I was a bit under impressed. Going in, I knew not to expect any significant difference in acceleration from my civic (and I didn't beat on it either), but the powerband felt pretty bland.

The biggest disappointment though is the sound. I'm not convinced Toyota/Subaru put ANY time/thought into making the car sound as sporty as it truly is. Intake/exhaust/engine sounds actually put a frown on my face... I expected it to be relatively quiet, but it has no character, whatsoever. Some noise makers will certainly by in order should I get one.
