Hate to admit it, but I like it. But not as much as I like the old flat 6 sound.

WRX down low, Porsche rasp up high. What’s not to love?

If they added more valvetrain click n clack then it would lend itself to historical aircooled Porsches of the past.

Sounds good to me. I like how it looks too. I think it will sell well.

Not as good as the old 6, but still no need to fear the future.

Valvetrain clickity clack is nice as hell, when it doesn’t mean things are breaking. I love hearing mechanical sounds along with the engine and exhaust.

honestly - a lot better than I thought it might sound. It’s quite a distinctive sound. A little Subaru-esque but more revvy and mechanical. That is still ALOT of money for a small turbo 4 sports car, but at least its nice. Or - how about Subie drops the WRX 2.0 in the BRZ - same performance less than 2/3rds the price.

There’s a hint of V-twin in that sound as it revs up. It’s rather unique and a little raspier than Subarus.

It’s no NA flat-six, but could have been worse.
