I have to disagree some with all the hate on the 2012 interior, We have a 2012 also and compared to the Evo9 interior that we had the STi is better improved. It doesnt feel as base bones as the evo did, it feels more like a luxury sports car imo, which is fine because this is my wifes daily driver. The 2008+ STis or Evo 10s arent the beastly sports cars that they were in the previous generations. So imo you cant compare them like this.
