It's the paint going dull that puts me off also.

A detail would sort that out. Blobeyes in red are pretty rare, only the WRXs came in that colour. However in Europe (Finland?) the Petter Solberg edition was an STI in that red. I'd kill for one!

A mate of mine has a MY05 blob WRX in red and owned it for about 6 years. He had a couple of panels resprayed after some minor vandalism and there is no discernible difference between the old and new paint that would indicate paint fade.

If your judging by pictures they don't do the colour justice, I looked at a red one when I started my search for the right car, the main reason I didn't buy it at the time was lack of funds and no PPP, otherwise I really liked it in red.

Also like any paint if its looked after it will not fade.

I would love a red wrx but there just aren't that many decent 1s for sale at the moment, I keep my fingers crossed that 1 pops up soon though.

I own a red blob. It's a nice colour, never had any issues with it fading at all, just need to polish and wax it every so often but no more than you would any other car.

Get a red JDM Blob WRX if there is such a thing. It'll spank the pants off a jdm sti.

Wonder if there was a JDM Blob WRX PPP?

Now that would really take on supercars.

When I had my red 2003 WRX, I took it to the Prodrive open day and it was the only one there! It was nice to be different.
