The cost should be round that area if not more. When you get to boost, it is faster than off boost. Straight line acceleration times are mid 14's in the 1320 and mid 5's to 6's seconds 0-60.
From factory, the tires do it no good. It's an awesome factory tire though, but doesn't handle well when heated up to temperature. It's a harder compond. The suspension is fine but it's whats between you and the road that matters. Not all cars handle well from factory. Some do, some don't. The fact that the WRX has long suspension travel, the springs are designed a little different to travel more, which is why it has most of it's body roll. But hey, Subaru has to tune the suspension for the street, that's why it's given a good amount of suspension travel to be able to go up ramps and speed bumps.
Owners are only not happy when the car is stock. Later when suspension mods and tire/wheel combinations go in, they're much happier.
