btw.. to be fair. This car has bad points.
* Rear seats are to used only as a last resort
* Cabin noise is noticeable. Can be improved with better tire selection
* It's a 5x100 wheel bolt pattern. Wheel selections are currently limited but soon to be a non-issue I suppose as it's driving sales for the aftermarket right now.
* Center console armrest. Where the heck is it??? GRRRRRR
* Suspension lacks adjustment points from the factory. You're left exploring aftermarket options
* Stock tires are really terrible
* Stock brakes are only merely ok for a full day of HPDE, yet matches well to the equally crappy tires
* The base model climate control is clunky. Not as good as a base model climate control in my 2004 Toyota Tacoma even. They must have used the Subaru parts here.
* Missing "oh shit" bars so I have no where to hang my sport coat for those James Bond nights out in the town.
* The center console area where my right knee rests against needs padding. Sometimes on a very tight turn I use my knees to brace myself.. it hurts in that area even though the seats themselves are great.
* Poor placement of cig lighter socket. Again, center console improvements needed!!
Notice, the lack of power isn't one of them.
