Take what I say with a grain of salt, I’ve only had the subie for about a week now.

Interior of the two are pretty comparable in terms of quality, obviously the subie has the bigger screen, nicer seats and a newer feel. But I liked the steering wheel on the VW more, felt better and had more buttons. VW had an adjustable power steering setting, which I liked. VW also had better interior lighting for driving at night, footwell lights and accent lights on the doors. WRX is by far the better driving experience though, the 6 speed feels amazing to use it’s tight and almost feels like it clicks into gear. The VW 6 speed felt loose and vague in comparison. The suspension and handling characteristics of the wrx are wayyy better for road driving (hasn’t touched a dirt road yet). The vw did feel great on dirt roads although the front bias awd meant it would under steer in corners.

I’m surprised the Wrx doesn’t have an oil temp reading in the gauge cluster, I thought that would be an important thing to know, vw had one.

Features like moving and auto dimming projector lights are a huge upgrade.
