Anyone test drive the new 08 imreza/wrx yet?

Well I didn't have time to test drive it but I did get to sit inside the new WRX (sedan) and wow! Really roomy and comfortable. Loved the center console and it has its aux jack under the arm rest (just like the tC)
I shifted through the gears and I think a short throw shifter can do that car some good..the distance between 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th was a lttle farther than I've cared for in past stick cars I've driven.
But other than that I loved it =) Really roomy.
I guess since no one else has really said anything I'll try to do it again on tuesday when I have more time after class! lol Or I could just continue talking to myself in here...

I'm not a fan of the revised looks but I've heard they drive amazingly well. Do you like the look of the Evo more? The Ralli-Art should be coming out soon to compete with the WRX. I personally like the look of the Lancer.

I was impressed! Throttle response was amazing and all that low end power really put me back in my seat! My only real complaint was the clutch but i'm not the greatest stick driver lol then again that was a pretty touchy clutch, stalled twice...
Considering it was all stock, the suspension felt pretty tight and the brakes were pretty grabby as well! Then again my tC has needed brake pads for awhle now lol (past few weeks) ended up installing my new brake pads shortly after..
stock stereo was about the same as tC as well.
I didn't drive the poop out of it or anything but I drove it enough to say its definetly an amazing car and I actually did like it better than the 05 I drove about a year ago at carmax.
However, in the end, I hopped back into my tC and still can't see myself getting ride her for anything. Although if I did trade in my tC it would probably be for the new wrx 4door (for now..)
