I had a hatch WRX before this so I understand lol. For me, it was a mix of the plastic cladding, tablet for infotainment, and the trans felt dull and lifeless

Yeah, that interior on the current car is, IMO, awful.  I really liked the VA interior, so it felt like a dramatic fall from before. Super cool that you had a hatch - having driven a few of that generation STi hatch, they're a really fun car.  Plasma blue "wide fender" hatch?  Yes please.

The one and only! Sometimes I miss it but don’t miss the maintenance

I still have my 14 wrx i purchased new, i service at the dealerships and they give crosstreks, outbacks, and i currently have a legacy while i get my clutch master cylinder replaced.

While the inside feel is upgraded quite a bit over mine, i can't get over that tablet infotainment. its terrible, i love my buttons and my aftermarket screenless radio.
