I don't think anyone has had paint peeling off or large sections of paint missing.. please share?
IMO the paint polishes great and holds up like most.

My friend's Fiesta is in much better condition paint-wise (same year). The same goes for my family's Silverado (2010 so it might not be affected by the same restrictions in solvents). I would say the BRZ's paint seems below average in terms of durability. It does look very shiny however.

The chips can hardly be seen from a distance but they are annoying when washing the car up close.

I forgot to mention the crickets, they come and go for me as well. At this point I don't care as long as the car performs well mechanically. I only hear them when I park and turn the volume down anyway.
I have a feeling it will be one of those things that creates nostalgia when in 20 years someone posts a video of a restored first gen BRZ and you hear the "criiii-criiii-criiii-criiii-criiii-criiii"
I don't want to scare OP so I will re-iterate. Fun car, would buy again
