Tired hump day
They said they're only going to be doing a 1.5" for the 18. Guess some things changed under the car and they wanted to keep the geometry as stock as possible.

Yea it was a minimal gain, and I doubt you can feel any real difference.
But thats not why I bought it, and why I've still got the STi

I test drove an H6... Outback 3.6R with CVT. It was super nice.
There was a couple checking out a Forester XT. We happened to go on our test drive at the same time. During the test drive we head out on to the freeway. FXT is in front of us. On the on ramp, I had the OB floored and the FXT was just casually walking away.
I was sad.

the worst part is the cvt failaidz
what kind of idiot thought it'd be a good idea to make a cvt simulate shifts? and it does it so terribly too. spaces the gears out super long, so you get no accel at all, and then when it "shifts" it cuts power for a sec so you go even slower.......and jerkier. when you're driving at low throttle and then step on it to merge or change lanes or speed up, there's a full second delay while it's trying to figure out what to do, then finally drops down a gear and starts to go........except now it's too late and you're getting rear ended
I can't even fathom how this could be any worse engineered/designed than it is. it's not possibru
so now you get the worst of both worlds. the mazda 6 drives 300% better than this bucket of fail in every single way imagineable.
acceleration - mazda by a long shot
handling - mazda by a long shot
throttle response - mazda by a long shot
literally the only thing going for the legacy are decent looks (mazda looks better) and the awd.
come snow time this thing better be amazing in the snow, or else it's just a complete and utter failure of a car.
