PROTIP: Should have gotten the 135i. Same powerplant with less car, as fast as the M3 in a straight line.

awwww why so harsh. lol (Just kidding I expected it)

As for the V6, sorry I know its inline I was just typing quickly and was thinking cylindars and not orientation.

Here are my thoughts, I love Subaru and I loved my STI however at the end of the day this car is way more comfortable and IMHO is a lot of fun to drive. I drove it almost 2K miles from PA and I can tell you in corners and straights it performs.

I know LD said they are boats, but I dont see it so far. When I looked at it I expected tons of body roll and the fealing of pulling an oil tanker when accelerating. So far I have none of that especially on handling (could be the active steering system upgrade). I went through the mountains of VA and SC and the car handles suprisingly well for its size. But then again this is just my thoughts.

I have already been looking into the Dinan packages for power and handling. I dont plan on tracking the car or racing it (thats what the evo is for), I just wanted something very comfortable and also quick.

Besides the price I got it for I would be nuts for passing it up. Lets just say you cant get a used one with no options for the cost I paid new.

the dinan stuff is good because they give you a warranty, but ive never heard of any problems with the active stuff. A lot of people really stand by AA. I know PSI has done 2 or 3 AA 335s so far.
