I can agree about the seats,
I can agree about the seats, but then I didn't buy it new. I have a used but loved Legacy that is nearing 240k klm's and has no noise of any description. I have had it for more than 6 years and have not put a spanner on it(touch wood). First Subaru I've ever owned. If this is a taste, I am having more. Best car I have ever had (simple). Seats are simply fixed with a cushion.
