However, the STI gearing is so much more aggressive that it really did not feel that way to me, at least enough for me to notice on the test drive. 2nd gear went to 59 mph vs. my old WRX at 72 mph.

On the interior - well, it is a Subaru. I don't think anyone can make it a BMW if they tried. But for the price, I was satisfied with it. Interiors just don't bother me that much one way or another. Step into a 90s/ early 2000s Chevy interior - those are miserable.
Still do IMO for the new GM anything.

I don't mind the new Subie interiors, they actually aren't that bad.
