"quick fix" for latches is to tape over them. Unfortunately not long lasting, as few opening/closing of seat back and latching mechanism/teethed gear eats through tape. At least should help to pinpoint rattle source, if those latches are culprit.
Try googling on subaru seat U latch rattle. Or searching in this site. There might be other ways to fix, maybe better. IIRC one of them was to unbolt/adjust a bit latching mechanism position/re-tighten, but don't remember details.

This car has not very expensive high-class interior, rather like in cheap subaru-s. Sound proofing sucks. Audio sucks. Practicality in some ways is limited. Many mention as main drawback stock NA power. Though then again if that all has been much better out of box, i guess car might be more upmarket & priced accordingly much higher. I wouldn't be able to afford new caiman/beamer M/audi S/AMG mercs if new, but i could afford this. So i'm happy with chosen compromises/some faults, as loads of driving fun i'm getting for the money more then makes up for that.
