Somebody got a little defensive. I would honestly have to say that the dry handling of any stock Subaru (especially the new soft WRX) is less than exhilerating. It is good, but there is plenty of room for improvement.jdmjerry07;155557 wrote:handling is more than decent compared to the new wrx in all the test i watched they always like the speeds over the subby, and i own one now and can vouch for it handling good...
I can see based on your responses that you are very happy with your new car and pretty much assume that any of the cars we have are subpar in comparison to it. So, congrats on your purchase! Have fun!

I test drove one of these and was very impressed. Power seemed to fall off up top though.
