I would like to see more analysis on how the suspension settings affect the ride of the vehicle. Also, I have seen in previous reviews of the 2024 TR model, that the Recaro seats are very uncomfortable because of an aggressive lumbar in the seat that is not adjustable. If you could comment on the above, that would be appreciated.

I have the 2022 GT and wish they came with Brembos compatible for it as well. Especially because it is still the most expensive of the bunch. I am jealous of the blue interior Recaros. Finally, I wish it came with a donut spare that fits under that Styrofoam trunk piece.

Dude! Where’s the little yellow hand? Stick to the original formula!!!

Way overpriced. The VA wrx brand new was 26k.... then 1 year later after canceling the STI they bumped the WRX price up to a brand new VA STI price...
Thats like McDs canceling the BigMac then selling their cheeseburger for price of a BigMac.... makes no sense at all.
