The new platform is safe, sound, very stiff and roomier on the inside than
previous Subarus.
Material quality is up a few notches from what you may have experienced in
previous Subarus, although not so nice that you wouldn't want to take it off - road.
Some may say that it's time for the WRX to have a six - speed manual, but I didn't have a problem with this five - speed, and the clutch takeup is much better than in
some previous Subarus.
