I am seriously considering one of these and replacing the Mercedes.

If I wanted to get more performance out of it, I would probably go with a stage two bolt on 2.5 liter set up from www.cobbtuning.com That include cold air intake, headers, high flow cat, underdriven lighten power pulley and muffler.

I like normally aspirated cars, in that they don't have turbo lag.

theres one right here. :)

How do you like it? Do people confuse it for the WRX? Do most people even seem to care?

Have you driven a Legacy GT Wagon? How is the handling different?

I noticed in the specs that the TS does not have a Limited Slip Diff in the back. Have you even noticed any ill-handling because of it? What conditions is it noticable? I have heard of the affect of not having a Limited Slip Diff called "Tunk Monkey" like having a large drunken monkey throwing its wait around in the back of the car.

We do lots of driving in rain, so I would like to have AWD that the TS has.

PS, we love the Legacy GT Wagon that we have. It is such a sweet car.
