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.

Agreed, there's no point going overboard on the interior buttons and gadgets in a budget sports car. As far as simplicity goes, the lightweight RWD platform of the BRZ can't be beat by the heavier and more complex AWD platform of the WRX/STi (e.g., three LSDs...), which it subsequently makes up for with more TURBO POWAAAAA!!!
But yes, two completely different animals, and it depends entirely on what you want out of the car.
