I could probably put up with the 2.5i if it wasn't for the lack of shift paddles.

It really depends on the tuning of the CVT. I've sampled a couple of good ones, and a couple of awful ones. It varies a lot.

I always prefer to have a manual override available to me, just in case.
 
Besides, there's not much separating that Forester XT from an automatic-equipped WRX. Which is what I really want. And doesn't exist right now.

Except probably a considerably higher insurance premium for the WRX.

This is a valid and important point. I bet part of the reason Subaru is moving the WRX to its own model as at the "request" of insurers. The Impreza having the whole Dr Jeckyll/Mr. WRX thing might have made it tough to determine rates for the model.

Not really. There is less difference between a WRX and standard Impreza than there is between the STi and standard WRX. The insurance price difference is rather large.

They've been on a roll for a while now, wow.
 
With 4EATs and no DI. Imagine when they update those.
