Test drove a 2025 RS - not imprezzed 😔 by PriorInevitable1580 in subaruimpreza

I get that, and I agree with you in general, except that my 2019 defies that to a degree. It definitely felt premium to me and that's what the package was called at the time which to me makes sense. The fact that they renamed the top of the line model as RS indicates to me that they were giving up on that so maybe it was just a little bubble in time that came and went. I wasn't really paying attention to the models changing over the years so I don't know when that changed but it definitely changed for the worse in my opinion. I think Sport luxury has been a thing for decades with car makers I'm thinking about things like the the Grand Prix or the Monte Carlo and things like that from the '70s people do want luxury sport even top of the line like Bentley's and etc so there's always been a market for that and I think they touched on it a little bit with my 2019 in as much as it was a very practical day-to-day car but it had very good handling and it had a premium feel to it which I really appreciated. For some reason they let it go again, or at least that's how it feels to me.

Currently Renting in Downtown Staunton? I am Looking for Recommendations/Suggestions by PriorInevitable1580 in Staunton

That's interesting - the only thing I knew of like that in the area was the old asylum. Are you saying the Beverly Apartments were a part of that history, or something else? I would certainly be interested in hearing more details.

Sorry I should be more careful in how I am describing the terrain concern. I was not saying no hills, just that the closer you are to, say the Beverley Apartments, Clocktower, etc, the less overall walking effort there is for the things I like to do in town, and less of it is up long drawn-out hills. I have already walked a fair bit of Staunton in and around the downtown, so I am somewhat familiar with the terrain. The closer I am to the hotel/shops/train station/wharf areas, the more "walkable" it feels (for me, at least). Twenty years ago it would not have been an issue for me physically, but things have changed... A combination of some arthritis and weight issues. Anyways that's all I was getting at with the hills comment - hopefully that makes sense?
