I hear nothing but bad things on touch screen system (is it really that bad?), the interior looks so basic, the seats aren't full leather, no steering wheel controls and no armrest? I don't race or track my car. I really just want a car that looks good and gets good MPG's. I have a 140 mile commute a day so I want a comfortable ride. Plus it may go on some road trips every now and then with my GF. So, is the BRZ too much of a "drivers" car for me? Is the interior really that bad or can I live with it on a daily basis?
The only other cars I'm considering is something along the lines of a Fiesta, Focus, Sonic, Civic, etc.. Just to get something basic to commute with. And the $10k+ plus I save from a BRZ I could save and use towards my future such as house, wedding, etc.. Not getting the BRZ is the better financial choice but I feel this may be my last chance to get that "cool" sports car for awhile. But is it for me? I want to see the new WRX. If it looks good and gets good MPG's, I'd be all over it. I like the look of the current WRX but it's 25?mpg highway rating doesn't do it for me. Plus I need an Auto as my GF drives my car as well. Opinions? Thanks!

You are soooooo far away from being a BRZ/FRS ideal candidate.
What you need is a commuter, specially with that kind of mileage.
Most importantly, because you are clearly not an enthusiast. You care more about practicality and creature comforts.
This car was made for people that enjoy driving, not for people that have long commutes. Some people might get by having a BRZ as their only car, but that's because they can only afford one car, and they rather trade daily practicality and creature comforts for the pleasure of driving, or taking the car to the track on the weekends.
Get yourself a Acura ILX if you are looking of a mid $20ks car that looks "sporty". Or if that's a lot of money, get yourself a Honda Accord Coupe. Hyundai Genesis looks more of what you are looking for.
But this car is far from what you are looking for, very far.
