I dont have an sti but i have a few friends with them. i think the wrx is way more comfortable than the sti. even the 06-07 like mine that has a very similar interior is more comfortable.

i drove to nebraska and back and i was fine. i just wish the freaking cabin area wasnt so damn loud.

sit with your seat more upright. that helps me deal after a day of sheetrocking and laying cement. no it isnt cool but it takes the weight off of your lower back,

Besides tired legs that needed some good stretching afterwards, I was comfy in my RS when I drove to Anaheim 3 summers ago. I had stock RS seats. I dunno how well (or badly) I'd feel with the bugeye WRX seats in there now.
