Really, the money you pay for a WRX or STi all goes to the motor and drivetrain
And the money you pay for a BRZ or FR-S is going to the suspension

Which is fine with me. The FR-S and BRZ also get beat up for having spartan interiors, but I actually prefer it. When I test drove a Focus ST recently I hated how busy the interior was and how many buttons there are. I prefer simple. Which is why I like the WRX interior as well, it is just very simple.
Maybe I am just getting too old
