Honestly Im just so frustrated with the interior of my 2022 WRX right now. I love how the car drives but the cabin feels like a cheap plastic dungeon and it is actually starting to stress me out every time I sit down to commute. I spend about two hours a day in this thing driving through downtown traffic in Seattle and honestly the lack of storage and just the general blandness is driving me up the wall. Everything feels so hollow and every time I put my coffee down I worry its gonna spill because the cup holders are in such an annoying spot. I dont have a huge budget right now since I just dropped a ton on new tires but I really need to do something to make this place feel a little less like a rental car.
- I really need something to organize the center console because right now its just a giant abyss where my keys and work badge disappear into.
- Are there any decent pedal covers that dont feel like they came out of a vending machine?
- I looked at some floor liners but im anxious about them not fitting right or sliding around.
Im just tired of looking at all this gray plastic. Ive got about 200 bucks to spend this month before my vacation and I just want to feel like I actually own a car I enjoy being inside. Has anyone found any accessories that actually stay put or feel like they belong in the car instead of just cheap junk from amazon? I just want the interior to stop annoying me every single day...

In my experience, get the Subaru OEM Center Console Tray to stop the abyss. For mats, WeatherTech FloorLiner 441741 stay put perfectly. Forget cheap pedals, stay safe and keep stock.

Adding my two cents after dealing with that cheap plastic vibe for years. Honestly, focus on tactile points to change the cabin feel. I swapped my shift knob for a GrimmSpeed Weighted Shift Knob 450g and it makes every gear change feel way more solid. Also, these floor mats are locked in tight:
- Husky Liners Weatherbeater 13451 Custom Fit They stay put in traffic and look way better than the stock carpet.

Man I totally get that plastic fatigue! Had a moment to think about your setup while grabbing a coffee. I actually ditched the stock feel by focusing on tactile touchpoints first.
- Are you looking for more of a race-inspired vibe or just something cleaner and more premium?
- I found that swapping out the shift knob and adding some alcantara trim pieces made a world of difference for me. It stopped that rental car feeling instantly! Let me know what aesthetic you're aiming for.
