Just looking for some comparison in terms of ride etc. pros and cons for daily living if you have experience in using both.

I have 2 XT's and debating pulling the trigger on the WRX for some variety. Test drove a WRX CVT a few weeks ago and it seemed quite different in driving characteristics from my XT.

Not just in handling etc., but in the way it shifted and revved etc. I thought they would be closer matched? XT seemed much smoother and linear? WRX seemed more jumpy and lurched?

Again, if you have more time with both, feedback appreciated.

A 20 minute test drive was not enough seat time to really get it figured out.

The WRX CVT is programmed much more aggressively apparently and has later shift points then the FXT's. This being said they've also had a update from Subaru to correct performance or something. I don't thing there has been any update for our CVT's.
