I'm not sure is Jeff is saying the Subaru's climate control is actually identical to the Scions in certain trim packages, so I'll ignore that difference.
Trivial observations that, IMO, favor the Subaru:
- The Subaru has stitching on the parking brake and boot while the Scion doesn't
- The Subaru has the "aluminum" trim around the shifter - also the traction control and sport buttons just behind the shifter look better in alum
- Prefer the fake aluminum trim look over the fake carbon fiber look on the trim
- Leather bolsters on the seats does make it look less cheap
- Heated seats are nice
In the Scion's favor:
- White-faced speedo
- No stupid "engine start/stop" button
I'm not sure if Jeff is saying the Subaru's climate control is actually identical to the Scions in certain trim packages, so I'll ignore that difference - which in these pictures clearly favors the Subaru.
