2016 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD

20500 mi Leather on steering wheel was wearing off. Dealer replaced steering wheel. 
6000 mi Rattles from loud SPT exhaust (factory installed) and Harmon-Kardon stereo. Not all rattles were fixed. I will be attempting to fix them myself at a later date (by adjusting clips and adding batting). Small paint chip on the body of the car where the trunk corner meets the body. Only noticed due to forums. There was a TSB for this but my VIN is not included. Pictures submitted to SOA. Awaiting response.
