Combing the suspension change and tires with better grip would have made an even greater improvement in handling.

It's nice they centered the car's track attitude. Less tail happy isn't necessarily a bad thing, but plow, subarus mode of choice, is even less fun to drive.

They were marketed initially for the drift crowd which would want that handling tendency.
