   >shocked it didn’t even have a center armrest Personal preference, I guess, but two years of owning it and I don't care about that. The seat bolster is usually where my arm ends up resting if it's not on the steering wheel or shifter, and that's been plenty enough. My old Juke Nismo RS was similar - due to the seating position and the bolsters on the Recaros, I never used the optional armrest that car had, and it just became a place for crap to accumulate (usually microfiber cloths).

   Having owned and driven several (and we now have a 2026), IMO this gen is the best WRX they've made so far. Will it match more dedicated sporting platforms on a track? No. Also, shifter is a little looser than I'd like, clutch a little vague. But then, I've driven BMWs with worse transmissions. It's also not a track car, it's an all weather sports sedan with some (distant) rally heritage and it does great at that. You can have fun on the way to work, every day, in any weather, and it can easily take your kids along too. I had a friend show up to an autocross event with his car seats in the back and still run respectable laps. Not to mention all other sporty AWD platforms have either been discontinued or moved up a price bracket. Anyway, long story short, it's essentially peerless right now and it doesn't feel like they got lazy. ... Except Subaru infotainment which is garbage tier, absolute ass.

   Heaviest clutch and floppiest shifter throw, seems to have been consistent throughout each model

   >Subaru clutches and shifters have always been kinda ass though lol First car i learned to drive on was a wrangler and the shift throws were a mile long. In 2018 I was cross shopping the STI with the other hot hatches and the shifter immediately reminded me of the jeep. Heh

   >If it was dry pavement when you drove it you were missing the best part, they are significantly more fun when traction goes down. >Subaru clutches and shifters have always been kinda ass though lol This is exactly how I felt about my 2006 WRX, it's amazing they're still offering basically the same experience. It's the only car I've ever owned that was *more* fun to drive in bad weather. It was a real bore in dry conditions, and it was a chore in traffic. I don't know if it was aftermarket, but it had the heaviest clutch of any car I've ever driven.
