I do a lot of miles (Km) on country roads in Australia, and the
legacy (liberty here?) is far superior to a WRX as a FAST tourer
point to point. Lots more comfortable, more leg room, just as
fast,handles just as well, more enjoyable, less tiring to drive,
same fuel economy. WRX is great for short term point to point, but
tiring to drive long distances.
just by 2 cents also.
