It just feels like a commuter car now, like a Corolla (sorry). The old 2.5RS or 06-07 2.5i felt much closer to the WRX. I don't know they just feel watered down. Its really up to you though. I took the WRX out once or twice in the dirt with some snow to play around but decided I like the pavement more. Hell, I used to run my 99 Outback in some dirt areas to
(I was younger and dumber). I would just take it easy, no powerslides, or scandinavian flicks!
