And that's a good thing? I was clearly exaggerating a bit, but for me any vehicle with a driving position as high as a WRX's detracts from any "sportscar" experience.

American car manufactures have stepped up a bit. Just like Hyundai and Kia. They used to be notorious for having issues but they've definitely gotten a lot better. I have yet to hear of any issues people have with the new ST- granted it just came out a couple months ago.
They may have improved a bit but they are still well below Subaru and Toyota in the CR and JDPower longer-term assessments.

As to the interior, sure it's opinion, but there seems to be a consensus across many reviews that it's a long ways from VW GTI quality, and very in-your-face.
