In-cabin storage isn’t phenomenal, with an adequately sized center console cubby and deep door pockets, but little else. The rear cabin is a bit more cramped, but it’s still spacious enough for most people, even on two- or three-hour nonstop trips. The WRX features nearly best-in-class front head- and legroom, and there’s more than enough room for even tall drivers. But it isn’t terribly intrusive, especially given the WRX’s intended mission. The 2022 WRX deflects untoward noises and harshness better than its former self, although occasionally, booming exhaust tones get in at certain part-throttle engine speeds. Those well-bolstered front seats provide plenty of lateral support in sporty driving, but they’re also decently comfortable on long freeway stints. The decently constructed interior also helps the WRX feel pleasant and comfortable on the daily slog. Where it matters most – armrests, windowsills, knee bolsters, and the like – the Subaru is nicely padded. There is definitely some cheap plastic inside, but it’s mostly confined to the lower doors and center console bits. The flat-bottomed steering wheel’s rim is the perfect thickness, and the stylish, faux suede–trimmed seats look wholly appropriate to the WRX’s mission. An 11.6-inch touchscreen display takes center stage, with vertical HVAC vents and wing-shaped dashboard elements sparring out from either side. The cabin is more universally appealing, making it a pleasant place to undertake the business of driving. Rallycrossers will likely find the cladding more appealing than most – a fitting niche for the WRX to fill. And nearly the entire rear bumper is done up in the stuff, but at least it’s shaped a bit more organically and unobtrusively, framing the quad-outlet exhaust while also providing some low-speed damage resistance and easier repair or replacement than a glossy, painted unit. There’s yet more textured black plastic on the front bumper, where it takes the form of an oversized faux vent on each corner – the previous-generation Honda Civic comes to mind – and a lower bumper. Although the wheel arches themselves are round, they’re trimmed in unattractive, beveled plastic – a cue borrowed from the Outback Wilderness that looks merely acceptable on a crossover and totally out of place on a sporty, compact sedan. A peaked roof and sloping front hood give the new WRX decidedly economical proportions, a problem that plagued the previous generation but is made much worse by the new Subaru’s extensive cladding.
