so I'm lookin at purchasing an RS and have been researching for a while now and i came across these reviews from people that have owned an imprezza, they say that the interior and paint job were cheap and not very durable? I was wondering how everybodys interior is holding up to the test of time? have you had any problems and if so what was it and was it anything major? And is there a cause for concern with the factory paint job being cruddy? just looking for some actual firsthand experience.

I'm sure that subaru would keep their reputation solid in all areas of the car. cause the more i learn about this car the more i wannna get one!

i have yet to have any major problems wiht the interior of my '02 WRX, ive had it for 25000 miles...

The durability really isn't an issue in the interior for me. I keep up on it....it is just done cheaper than the higher end Subies.

The hood and front bumper will always have rock chips in them...that is what you get for having a low nose. Mine was driven in the mountains before I bought it..so guess what..lots of rock chips.

Nothing too major to worry about though...
