Compared just from the pic's... I made my pre-order deposit with the dealer here back in December of 2011! So, when per-ordering/purchasing I didn't have much to go off of except photos then, and after seeing photos comparing the two cars in the forum I'd say that I am very happy with my choice.
The Scion seems to be a bit "busy" especially at night with everything being different colors. The Subaru has all red lighting/back lighting on the instrument clusters etc. The HVAC controls (with the dual climate) look better to me than the Scion too. Just recently in one of the threads we found that the Scion did not have courtesy lights in the door like the Subaru did... In other areas it just seems like Scion was cheaper in their approach to make their car look more "hip" or something. (The pattern on the speedo and dash is odd.) Besides the premium's Alacantra both the Subaru and the Scion seemed to be skipping on the seat material. The Scion also seems to have red on the shoulder supports which looks a bit goofy to me... Either way though, the support the seats provide is AMAZING. In the end the Subaru interior just seems to be more refined. Again this is all my opinion though...
In the end I'll still say that either car is awesome to me. The Subaru just appealed more to me for the little things, but in both the engine and chassis is the same. In that area you can't lose!
I don't know how much time you have to browse the forum but you'll find pics-o-plenty in member journals to compare the cars. This can give you more views then you could think of looking at. Of course driving the car is different from pictures! If it comes down to a test drive hopefully you can find somewhere to let you find out if the car is for you or not!
Good luck!
