Comfort

The Hyundai Sonata will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Subaru WRX.
Convenience

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
