Bad thing about a subaru besides the tranny (again this was the issue with previous wrx models, not sure how the new ones are)...
The '08 and '09 received an upgraded tranny through hardened gearing, primarily 1st.

The SS on the other, is... well ehh. Im biased, as I hate the SS or the neon SRT4, I think these cars are GM's way of trying to get a piece of the pie ( the tuner world) without really thinking about it...
The SRT4 is made by Chrysler, fyi.
