I love my subaru. I think the design, styling and functionality rules. However nothing is perfect. Im sure everyone has a few things they wish subaru had done differently. I know JDM stuff is obvious. Im talking about small annoying things you might notice but arent really a problem. My list is as follows:
---That good ol' wind noise- countless efforts have been made to pinpoint the sound...to no avail. i dont care anymore.

---Cup holder placement- very convienient but a pain when you need to mess with the heater settings.

---Trunk drainage- when you wash it on a hill, if youre pointing nose down theres always a lake in the channel under the lid. Makes a mess once youre done and you pull out.

---Squeaky brakes- maybe its just me but it sure doesnt take long for them to start.

---To smokers: DRIVING IN THE RAIN, or putting the window down with freshly fallen rain on the roof...and making a sharp bend.. AHHH!

Not talking smack on the mighty Subaru but those are just my daily issues.

Lets hear some of yours, if you have any, maybe im just being too critical.

Rain ruined my master window control switch.

The wind and smoking things are problems but the styling and handling make it all worth wild.

Cupholder is busted...the entire unit stopped working so I pulled it out

Lights that backlight the little figures who represent the heater fan directions always burn out.

Waiting for parts: We waited three months for a part from subaru and never got it (it was a shifter bushing) so we had a custom job.

I have power locks (no keyless entry though) and the driver's side door lock is jammed. the usual range of motion is limited and the power motor can't move it, but pushing it will. There's something jammed in the assemly for the door, and I don't know what to do.

Other than that, the engine runs great, the exhaust isn't close to rusting, and the suspension hasn't had any hiccups around corners ever after 171,111 miles (I have that right now!) 8)

I think they should have released a Legacy STi. 2nd gen preferred, but will take a 3rd gen if it came down to it.

Prodrive, good to see you back.
