I have to admit, I hated it
I have to admit, I hated it at 1st glance. I still think it does not at all look as good as it could and should. It just doesnt look special or sporty at all. It really does just look like a sedan version or a Crosstrek. That is not Ok and not at all what enthusiasts wanted. If we wanted a rugged crossovery thing, we would get an outback. We want an AWD, manual performance sedan. Technically it meets those standards, but it certainly doesnt fit the part visually. We shouldnt have to "wait for the STI" like everyone keeps saying. I shouldnt have to spend $10k more for possibly less embarrassing looks.
