Default Test Drove 2009 WRX STi -Thoughts

I test drove one from a dealers yesterday.

Just a few questions that I have after test drive.

*The gear stick move around a lot, is this normal on these?

*When letting off the throttle sometimes I could hear a whining noise from the engine bay area which went away after a few seconds?

* When stationary I tried turning full lock right and moving forward but car took extra throttle to move and once I let off throttle (doing 4-5 mph) it instantly stopped. Like it was stuck?

The whining noise could just be the differential.

Mine does none of them. As Phil says I'd take another one out for a spin.
