I had some rock chips after 1k miles but they were all from one event where I drove through a really bad construction area. There were 1-2" pieces of concrete raining on my car from people kicking them up in front of me. At one point several pieces where sitting on my hood rolling around. I was almost crying until I found an offramp to gtfo. Those are the only chips on the car. I touched them up and am putting a clear bra on the bumper today.

Im not even going to try to defend Subaru's paint quality, but all new cars have water based paint now for environmental reasons and tend to suck. Just something to think about before you get too down on your new car.
