Might make the switch from WRX
Gentlemen (and possibly a lost woman) - \
First time poster here. I have a 03 WRX wagon, about 30K. I want to move up in refinement, luxury, power etc. I have heard great things about the TL. Question is, how much will I miss the boost, the lightness, the rough but exciting ride, etc.
I will probably lease, so mods don't matter to me at all.
Just want to know - if I'm stuck between keeping my car, getting a Legacy GT Ltd or a TL, what you alls think would make the TL - which I'm sure you must favor - a good transition.
Thanks a bunch and I appreciate your patience for a new member.

You should really go to the dealership and test drive a TL with a 6speed too if you want a stick. It is all personal preference and these are 2 totally different cars. Only yourself can tell you if the TL is the right car for you. You will definitely miss the sporty car feel, but you will gain in luxury and refinement.

The 2 will have a totally different feel. I can tell you this, after driving my gf's 05 TL for 3 weeks while she was out of town it's hard driving my superchargered civic again. I feel like I've totally outgrown it, and I miss the TL. Too bad I can't afford one or we'd have 2 TL's
