Lots of Why's In The Subaru Alphabet
1: Why can't Subaru make a car that doesn't suffer from clutch judder? 
2: Why can't they produce a car that doesn't suffer from wind noise from the front door windows.
3: Why can't they produce a bonnet / scoop that doesn't look like it's going to lift at anything over 68mph
4: Why can't the car have a normal sized steering wheel.
5: Why can't they produce front brake calipers that don't corrode.
All the above affect my MY03 WRX, I only hope that the forthcoming WR1 that I have on order doesn't suffer the same.
And last but not least does the car (WR1) really look like puffy Nissan green or is it really Ice Blue, how strange the ice in my freezer is clear!

1) My car doesn't, although it doesn't have a Subaru clutch in it. 
2) Always a problem area with frameless doors, although you can minimise it by rubbing silicone oil into the seals every couple of months. Keeps them supple and as close fitting as possible.
3) Combination of ally bonnet that's a bit thinner than it could be (blame the rest of the car being too darn heavy), and a scoop that's really doing its job.
4) What's normal? If you think the one in your WRX is too big, you'll be pleased to know the one in the WR1 is 30mm smaller
5) They can. The Brembos on the WR1 are painted and, provided that doesn't get chipped, they won't corrode. It's relatively easy to get the standard WRX four pots (and indeed any others) coated with a nice shiny finish.
See above! No promises regarding the clutch. If you're that worried, you could always phone Subaru and ask them to fit a Borg & Beck clutch. Judder free so far!
It's definitely blue, nothing green, or Nissan, about it.
BTW 6 Pot, did you go to BRC Live after, and if so, what did you think of it?
