#2 - if you've hit unlock twice on your key fob, that has unlocked ALL doors including the trunk/hatch gate. Once unlocks driver door only, twice all doors, & the trunk button only unlocks the trunk/hatch gate. But you shouldn't need to press it 3 times to do that. I have the hatch, so maybe the 4 door is different. But I have disabled that chirp on mine. I took delivery in 12/2011 as well & am right around 13K miles as well. Similar MPG & 2 oil changes so far. Had new felt strips installed on the windows for a seal/moisture issue & my drivers side seat back was replaced yesterday for a squeaky seat. Had my windshield replaced but that wasn't a Subaru/warranty issue. Aside from those minor issues I love my car!

you can also wax your car. I've yet to get an answer from people complaining about the paint chips if they wax or anything like that. It's a good idea, especially starting out with a new car/new paint. |

The issue with the chipping paint isn't going to be solved with wax. Subaru uses either thin paint or clearcoat or both. This is a long standing complaint that people even had back in 2005.

Dr. ColorChip is magical. Use it. Fairly priced, too.
That one in the corner was terrible. If I had kept the WRX I would've kept applying Dr. ColorChip until it filled up the crazy chipping. I also can't stress clay-barring enough. I clay-barred my BRZ recently. It had collected a week's worth of dirt, but that's all it took to make it disgusting. With a wash you can't tell, but if you rub your car and it isn't smooth, but feels a bit like sand paper, then a clay bar is in order. |

chanomatik, how does the Dr. Colorchip compare to regular touch-up paint?

You're so lucky you have snow! It's in the 60s here.

I've never looked forward to the cold snowy weather, until I bought my Subaru.

Hello fellow Impreza lovers.
I am wondering if any of you can shed light on something my dealership told me. First off, my dealership has an additional department that does custom work like installing aftermarket heated seats, window tinting etc. They installed an aftermarket heated seat in my driver's seat but said they were unable to install one in the passenger seat due to some conflict with a passenger airbag. Does anyone know anymore info about this or if it's true? I have the base model 2012 Impreza hatch if that makes a difference. |

Thanks guys, I didn't figure the dealership was trying to pull one over on me, but thought I'd check in and see anyway. They gave me a couple hundred dollar credit on my account to use as I wish for the trouble, so I guess it's not all bad in the end.

I think the old system is much more reliable and less problematic than the new system. |
