GH8 S-GT (JDM Auto Impreza)

Has anyone driven one of these? How does the auto box suit the car? Can't find anything on 0-60 times anywhere

I dont have the JDM turbo to compare with but only the 2.0 RX NA Auto.

The box was fine but hung onto the revs a little too much for me and was not as good as more modern auto solutions for example approaching to going around then coming off an island when you apply throttle it would dwell a pause which seemed to take forever to kick down the box .

But putting it into semi auto mode (I did consider getting the flappy paddles that come with the GT) that improved the driving experience.

0-60, not much difference to a manual as basically you are in first gear and ratio's are very similar. Think it was a 0.2 sec difference on the NA model.
