No it holds true to virtually every Subaru made (that is unless Subaru sends built stalled autos for car mags to test). Read your car and driver's or motor trendsfor the past 15 years and you'll realize you're wrong. Comparable subies the auto is faster than the stick virtually every time. Reality is well reality.
