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.
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.

yeah well thats at about 6500 redline is 7 and that is with most turbo cars its gunna fall off but when this car makes max torque @ 3 i cant complain, car is still breaking in though and seems to just keep running smoother, cant really get into it yet for another 300 miles anyway and by that time i will have a few more things on...
