    95% of my noises comes from my squeaky back seat. The other 5% is me complaining out loud about it.

    funny you mention this...Mine has always been rattle & squeak free since day one. We just had a record high warm-up a couple days ago and after work I wanted to take the VX out for a joy-ride. I had some mud in the tires and I couldn't believe how just a little imbalance made my dash rattle and my radar detector was shaking mounted to the windshield and my tools (kept in my spare) were rattling when they are always quiet. After some road-time everything smoothed out to normal...but only after I held my breath hoping that's all it was...lol.

    Ya know, having been in a VX since 2000, the noises are still far from how bad it is in my WRX. WOW! Night and day. Actually, it seems like all Impreza (WRX) and Lancer (EVO) models come "standard" with noises as a feature. And they only get worse as they age (and as you mod the hell out of them). When I take the VX out on weekends, it's a pleasant drive not having all the creaks, rattles, and body moans.
