I would hate to buy my first new car to see it fade due to uv rays and poor choice of color due to my circumstances so any opinion on what to do would be nice.
Thanks in advance!

I don't believe this is as much an issue since the advent of clear coat and advances in paint tech. I know my wife's '05 Mustang which sits outside in the sun every day when she's at work looks as good now as it did when we bought it, and other than standard washing/waxing, we've done nothing to it. My '85 MR2 was almost pink after not much more time.
That said, I don't have any experience with Subaru paint, so YMMV. I'm sure there are folks much more knowledgeable about paint tech then I am so if its a concern, I'd wait until they give you more than casual advice.
