The overall assembly quality of the Imprezas ('02 WRX, '04 STi and '04 Forester) we have owned is better than our '04 Acura TL (USA assembeled) but slightly below our '02 Acura RSX (Japan assembeled).

The issue isn't specific to Subaru, non of the cars we have owned recently have had great paint. The paint on the '04 STi seemed be better formulated compared to the '02 WRX.

Yeah, gotta agree with that.

I made a little mini-rant in a previous thread.

Basically, you can have good, safe fun with the car, just know its limits.

It's all in this pamphlet

regular WRx's have shallow gears and aren't made to handle alot of power. STi gears are a good replacement. trust me....we just did the whole swap (tranny out, gearset out, sti gears in, tranny in). first gear is a lil longer..
