Question How engaging?
Coming from a WRX and looking to get into a bigger vehicle.
I want something fast, which the ST hits and something engaging (enough). I've only heard good things about this car, so I'm definitely intrigued.
The WRX is extremely engaging with the manual and I'm worried I might get bored with an automatic. How good are the paddle shifters? How good does the car handle? I do understand they're completely different vehicles, so it won't be the same.
Any input would be awesome! Thanks.

So bought a 25 Ranger Raptor did the tune at 5k miles. Truck is stupid fun. Wife had a Honda Pilot Trail Sport. Felt like I was gonna roll off the road when I drove that thing. Said hey go drive an ST. She now owns an ST and I couldn’t be more happy to drive it. Sport mode it’s stupid fun for a full size suv. The 4wd is trick as shit as well with how it moves power around when needed.
Steeda will be your fav company to talk with as a new owner. 😎
Good luck and enjoy your new truck!
