I really need to test drive one. The wife got tired of the MT in her LGT, so we traded it for as AT. The Subi is rev happy and quite dependent on boost. Lag is quite noticeable. My point is I really miss the MT.
It was so much more fun to drive and geared better. The Subie AT is probably no match for a BMW. It is slow and goes into each gear on down shifts. Stabbing the throttle takes about a minute for it to figure out what it wants to do. It constantly upshifts to 5th. In a MT, you don't forget you have one. Using sport shift it is easy to forget. I've hit the limiter a couple of times.
I had my mind made up to get a MT in the 135, but I will have to test drive an auto first. It will have to really impress me though. MTs are by far more fun. That is about 80% of why I want this car.
