Just got back from the test drive with my dad, I didn't get to drive it but I could just tell it was great. My dad was very impressed. You could defiantly feel that the whole car was stiffer. Seats are ok, could be better but not bad. I do quite like the interior. It feels better than the last model. It's a fantastic car and now I really want one. Also the dealer was much better this time. We had the same salesman but I don't think he remember us but he was nicer. I kind of feel bad for the salesman this time though. They had two Stis, and the one we drove was apparently a sold car. We didnt find that out till after the drive, and the other salesman there told us. Apparently the salesmen we had didnt know that. It was still a great car though.
