Am I the only one who thinks the Subaru FB 2.5L NA motor is a piece of crap. The engine is noisy, it doesn't make much power and it isn't smooth or rev friendly. Every Subaru fanboys tell me how great that motor is for daily driving, yet no matter what transmission it is attached to. It seems to run into the same exact problem. They claim it makes 160-170HP, but I am very skeptical on that as the car just seems too slow (I dragged my 08 Legacy with my Prius, the Prius came out quicker!) . Of course why would you want to punch that car, the engine is noisy and it sounds like poop?

Sorry for the rant, wasted a few hours at the Subaru dealer yesterday. I can't believe I almost spent $25K buying that thing.
