I must admit I have felt a difference lately in the delivery of the power.

Testing all 300 horses coming out of a rounabout onto a dual carriageway the other day. Cold, damp tarmac = tail out action. The subaru was very easy to control in this situation. Kept the power in, few degrees of lock on the wheel, sorted itself out in no time.

Not a hint of understeer (just had powerstation geometry) and DCCD was auto. Still cant stop grinning. Guy behind me kept his distance after that
