I agree with you Landshark, the first generation impreza is still the best. as for the new one, i still hate it, and I hated subaru for imitating the cheap looking alfa romeo and seat cars.

I don't think it looks too Alfa Romeo, I think it looks too SAAB.

The '06 WRXs (non STI) also got bigger fuel injectors. One of the guys at Cobb mentioned that with the '02-'05 models, the IDC's were 90%+ with their stage 2 package, but for the '06 model, they're around 60-65%.

I'd go along with that. The first Impreza, at least in 2.5 RS trim with the fog lights had a "mean" look to it. I like the 2002-2003 alright but the things just look too happy . The 2004-2005 are an attempt to solve the happiness problem but I don't know... . I think they finally got a true frown with the 2006 . Yeah I guess I like mad cars...

As far as how it drives - most people will not go along with my love of automatics, but that's what I wanted and I love it. My other WRX I had earlier - the 2003 sedan - was a 5 speed and I didn't like it. Not a MT person anymore. BUT, all that being said the 4EAT in the '06 is very responsive, very quick. The increased torque in the lower range that the new 2.5 has may be responsible for that too. I don't know, all I know is that it drives sweeet.
The heated seats don't hurt either....
