At the end of the day, there have been good improvements made, and they are allowing us to buy a car that does not exist anywhere elsewhere in the current new car market. The rest is pretty much irrelevant at this point. I am very very grateful to Toyota and Subaru for continuing to make this car for us to enjoy.

Couple of concerning quotes from Cnet...
"...oh, and road noise, because there's a hell of a lot of that, too." Wondering how much of this is exaggerated. Or if its just the tire choice. "...Interior creaks." First I've read on interior noises. Assuming a 1 off or a crazy nitpick about the center console "The throttle can feel a little soupy when taking off, as if the computer is purposefully trying to smooth out my input..." This was my main worry, but something I bet a tune will resolve near immediately. Lot of positive in the review - thanks for the link |

Can be fixed with a tune or a throttle controller. |

Clutch Spring?
Has anyone heard whether the new models have the silly spring on the clutch that the prior models had?
I'm a bigger buy, and getting the old one off was a PIA... |

Almost guaranteed. No production car is going to have a clutch without a helper spring, unless the throw is really long to compensate (like on German cars). |

Multiple journalists said that the clutch feel has changed, so it's likely they've changed the rate for that spring, possibly making it similar to that of MTEC springs.
