Yes, more sensitive. I have a 718, and I used to own an '09 WRX. The 718 sounds little like the Subie -- in fact, it sounds far more like an air-cooled flat-6 than a Subie.

I'm not going to get into this now; not the forum for it. Suffice it to say that the vast majority of purists who are against the flat-4 have never driven one (and don't realize how superior of a motor it is) and don't understand Porsche's own history of designing and producing engines.
