You can get stuff from Supercheap to condition all the door seals. That may help.

I don't like the seats (kinda got used to the leather seats in the old Forester) and the rattles. Apparently the clip at the front of the aircon next to the windscreen is broken, they taped it last service but didn't fix it and made more rattles over the console. Also the left front quarter panel is somewhat detaching from the car as well. Boot is hard to get a stroller in too

The wife scratched up the lip horribly with the pram, and trying to get it in and out the few times we have used the lancer for kiddy runs i understood how.

Don't know if this has been said but the seats...they are comfy and all but the Impreza RS has bucket seats!! And also the fact the volume knob on the center console is on the passenger side :S

@funny - I hate the seats too. It's more the fabric though but hey, if someone dropped a couple of Recaro's in I wouldn't mind :)

How the window sills are too high to rest your arms on for a long period.

Agree alt24, not at all comfy for long drives. Another thing the boffins at mitsu didn't think about :S

I think I would prefer high sills and not be dead in an accident though....

It was probably newer than your RA too. The new Lancers still don't have the sunglasses holder but they do have the USB and the bluetooth.

Yeah it sucks being short. The centre console armrest is in the wrong place to lean on as well. I don't have a problem reaching the sill when hubby has been driving my car though. He winds the seat right up because he's used to SUVs and being up higher but I like it lower. The seat doesn't stop me from reaching the pedals properly then.

I don't really like the material on the seats but I'm saving to get myself a set of black lambswool seatcovers. Other than that the seats are comfy enough. Better than the Craptiva anyway.
