I bought a Viggen over an Aero

The Viggen seemed faster, funner to drive, and sportier than the Aero. Plus, as a single person, I really do not need the interior space of the Aero and its other features (dual climate control, for instance), and I wanted the extra hauling capacity of the hatch. The seats are astounding. Go sit in a WRX, which has some nice seats, then sit in a Viggen. The Viggen's seats are the nicest seats I've ever sat in. And, I could get a two door.
Plus, there's a lot of engine upgrades to the Viggen. It has 2.3l, supposedly stonger internals, different ICU, different suspension, different clutch, etc. What I'd like it to have is a Porsche 6-speed manual transmission.
Is it worth 10 grand more? If I had it to do over, I would get an SE with the deals and save the money. However, now that I have the car, it's very fun to drive and handles surprisingly well in inclement weather for as much power as it has. I plan on keeping mine for at least 10 years.
