WRX dislikes were the stock tune. It has terrible rev hang and a non-linear throttle response. A tune fixes that but then you have to deal with warranty denial potential with Subaru.
Interior the GTI/Golf R are on a whole different level in terms of fit and finish and overall quality. Subaru has improved over the years but has a ways to go.
More road noise with the WRX. The WRX feels much more raw and a little more fun to drive with some basic mods. The Golf R is a much better daily driver but the steering feel is lacking.
The WRX will be cheaper and likely have better resale.
You really need to drive both.
