Comfort
The Hyundai Sonata offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Subaru WRX with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
The Hyundai Sonata will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Subaru WRX.
Convenience
With the Hyundai Sonata you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Subaru WRX, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Hyundai Sonata is clearly a better financial choice over the Subaru WRX.
Dimensions
The Hyundai Sonata is a little wider than the Subaru WRX, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Hyundai Sonata, which is slightly longer than the Subaru WRX.
Handling
The Hyundai Sonata has a smaller turning radius than the Subaru WRX, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Sonata is significantly less powerful than the Subaru WRX. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
Powertrain
The Hyundai Sonata has much less torque than the Subaru WRX, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Hyundai Sonata and the Subaru WRX.
