I have always loved how Subaru lay out their interiors, very "form follows function" like Volvo, but more utilitarian.

The rear of the wrx reminds of the e90 3 series, pretty sick! The front looks hideous. No headroom whatsoever, phuking terrible! I guess the seats don't go down as much, so you get that high angle view. The 2014 hatch is a freaking beauty compared to the new wrx, especially from the front. You also get tons more head room.

Rear does look good and similar to the BMW , esp with the trunk lid spoiler lip.
Front is... "aight", I guess. Very Evo X-ish.
Headroom? how tall are you?

2015 WRX sedan
Front/Rear
HEADROOM 39.8/37.1 in
LEGROOM 43.3/35.4 in
SHOULDER ROOM 55.6/54.2 in
2014 WRX hatch
HEADROOM 39.3 in. / 37.5 in.
LEGROOM 43.5 in. / 33.5 in.
SHOULDER 54.8 in. / 53.2 in.
Only half an inch difference in the front.. everything else about the same :iono: definitely noticed the extra legroom in the rear, that's for sure. More shoulder room noted in the new one.
Good read for comparo vs the Focus ST:

Looks more like a corolla...

Headroom measurments are good to ballpark things when comparing them on paper, otherwise, they are useless. There was 2-3" difference between the two. Both w/out the sunroofs. You definitely sink in with the hatch, somewhat similar to GTI flexibility. The hatch roof line helps too i'm sure.
Yep, pretty much. Corolla on roids.

Finally got around to looking at this. Looks like a hell of a car. Beast. Probably a blast to drive. Front end is hideous and interior looks like Toyota circa 1998 with nicer pedals, but this car is still boss. I'd never buy one of these because I'm way too big of a post-yuppie A-hole but you can't really go wrong with this car.

huh? the 2015 WRX there had a sunroof, did they have another one without it?
The sinking in feeling could be due to the older seats and seating position.
Yes, Corolla. Old news, lol...
Post-yuppie? I'd see pre-, honestly :lol:
but yeah.. it's hideous.. it's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

My bad, i was thinking of the FRS for some reason. Both of them had the sunroofs. Good catch!

35.4" rear legroom is pretty badass for a little car.
Spent enough time in the Subaru display checking out the WRX at the Chitown auto show that my brother started to question my sexuality. Gunkata has a list of issues with WRX and he can add dealing with rainbow, wnba, and other homophobic talk from friends and relatives as a negative. I don't care...still 95 percent going to be my next car!!!

The doors seemed a lot bigger compared to a 4DR 2 series or a3/a4.
