The RS is a fun cornering car and looks good on paper. But is not a fun car to drive, it does not "feel" fast. It's also really expensive for the amenities that you get. If it was a $30k car I would have a lot better reviews for it. I enjoyed my $20k Fiesta ST a LOT more. If the RS was similar price, I would pick the Fiesta ST for driving feel.

TK-421 is the stormtrooper designation from a new hope.

You nailed it! I was looking at one for a daily driver I got an Alfa Giulia instead feels more nimble and faster to me IMHO

You're right, I apologize I should have given more detail.
I had just come from a 900whp GT-R, and had a history with supras and other cars. I'm not sure what I was expecting from the RS but I just didn't fall in love with it like I wanted to - I loved the way it looked, I love the idea of the car, I'm a subaru and rally guy at heart so I wanted to love it.
I drove the car home and realized early on that as a big guy and an old(er) guy that it didn't suit my personality anymore. It's a great little demon of a car, and it really shined when pushed to the edge, but as a commuter it was just a bit too much for me.
I replaced the car with a 997 turbo, which is very much an old guy car
