What do you not like about your WRX?

If you were able to talk to the engineers at Subaru, what would you have have changed about the car? I don't want to hear stuff like 'more power' etc. I want to know stuff like 'it is too noisy', 'the mirrors are too small', 'the rear diff has problems', 'there is a blind spot', 'the seats are too soft', 'rear seat room is poor', , 'tranny is hard to shift', etc. I've worked on a lot of Subarus and didn't have any problems servicing them. But I was wondering what people's complaints were on the car.

I was surprised that cars at this price still have pull out antennas. I've noticed that the new imprezas no longer have it.

Paint chips/scratches easily
Body panels dent easily
16" wheels are too small
Stock ride height is like a 4x4
Bugeye headlights
Blue/black interior on all exterior colors
Dealer service sucks

All this, but still a bargain.

Yeah, it's just way better than anything esle in its price range. I have no serious complaints. My clutch is fine. Yeah, I'd like a built-in antenna, leather seats, sunroof, 6 speed transmission, MP3 player, sleeker cosmetics, but I don't want to pay more!
