Good:
Looks, refreshed design, follows the original concept Weight, not heavier than the 1st gen Size, dimensions are almost the same Handling should be as good or better than 1st gen Instrument panel, I like the full digital cluster Bad: Front dash is too high and bulky, no pocket for storage below A/C controls People will still be complaining about lack of power with 228 HP Reduced redline to 7000 rpm 13.5 compression will be a disadvantage for FI kits . Reducing compression might be necessary to reach 300 HP which is costly I am probably keeping my '14 FRS |

We can also use the K20 vs K24 for general comparisons. The bumps in the hp/tq look fairly similar between a TSX and RSX as the 2nd and 1st gen. I'm sure the difference in power potential will be similar too. We see this in other platforms too like the 1JZ vs 2JZ. There is no replacement for displacement.

Great. Now it's drooling licorice goo from the corners of it's mouth.
Stupid sticky kids.

If you want to see how hard I went at it, here's a quick snip. EDIT: Also to clarify, this is measurement in Horsepower and lb-ft for torque. |

Depends on the build. At modest levels, there is no reason FI on E85 can't last the typical lifecycle of a car; ie, 150k-200k or 10+ years. Quality compoenents on a good tune. I'm on E85 with a bar of boost on stock internals. If I had a built FA20 engine or the FA24 stock then 400-450whp would likely be easily achievable and reliable. That is a very respectable amount of power for 2800lbs.

The car looks like Subaru had a free hand in styling it. It could have been worse.
I’ll keep my silver 2013. I love it’s elegant and graceful lines, particularly at profile. And that version of silver was only offered the first two years. With just 50,000 miles it has years of service remaining. I drove a new 2020 recently and it was a little nicer. Maybe just add some sway bars and basic go faster parts and call it a day. And summer performance tires. |

Something still looks off to me but I can't put my finger on it. If I wake up at 2 tomorrow morning and go "AH HA" I will hold you personally responsable for my interrupted sleep!
