You are buying a drive train with those cars, not interiors. I recently sold my BugEye Hatch with 150K on it to a friend so we could upgrade.
We cross shopped a 2013 WRX hatch (new ones are sedan only) and the car was meh in that Subaru did very little to improve it over my 02 to justify the cost of a near new car. Slightly used ones are 25+K since the hatch is a bit of a prized get.
The new gen WRX has much nicer interior but man its a fugly car.
We ended up with a loaded X1 MSport. Had to give up the manual which we desire but finding a relatively low mile E91 manual is no easy task as they well loved by their owners.
The X1 is posh, well appropriated, gets out of its way...but not the fun toss it around in the snow beat on it and it just asks for more Bug Eye.
