Brake squeal in reverse is common with Scoobs and nothing to worry about. My STi7 does it and at low speed going forward.
I also used to have a cold starting problem, but this disappeared after an ecutek remap from Power Engineering, who made some map changes recommended by Subaru in addition to liberating more power.
At present my STi7 always starts first time, although when cold, e.g. blow 10 C, it only gradually peters into life.
