You may want to look in to the new Subaru Legacys. They are very nice inside. The 2.5 can also be really fast.

Other than that, the Saab 9-2x is nicer inside than the WRX. Mainly in the seats and the noise control.

I'd take both for a drive. But the new Legacy might be a pain to get the empeg into.

If you get a WRX, any mods you do will to make it faster, not more luxurious!
