Subaru WRX STI

Like the exterior, the interior is all rather old-school, but it’s nowhere near as endearing. On the contrary, there are several places – such as the stereo and dashboard displays – where the whole thing feels very dated and rather low in quality. Rugged perhaps, but certainly not filled with the kind of materials that are likely to receive any admiring glances from your passengers. What’s more, some of the features, such as the trip computer, are awkward to use, and the whole impression is of an interior that’s not in keeping with the car’s relatively high price tag. That said, there are no complaints about the driving position, and the smart, part-leather sports seats are fantastic, providing plenty of support, and a decent view out.
