Subaru WRX STi review

The cabin is possibly the worst offender. People have got used to chic cabins even in budget city cars such as the VW Up now. In comparison, the WRX’s grey and black plastic effort is hopelessly cheap. The drivers seat is well shaped, you can get comfortable, but it’s no more generously sized in the back than a Golf (although the boot’s better than it was – 460 litres is a hefty 40 litres bigger than it was before). Even a decent level of kit can’t help it: the ambience simply doesn’t befit a car at this price.
