500 miles and no rattles yet, but I think I can feel them coming...

 

LMAO....Honda is not quality. I traded in my 06 Si for the SS and the SS is much better, especially the interior. The alcantra interior wears fast and discolors, the plastic scratches even if you blow on it. That thing had so many rattles I can't tell ya. Honda may have been quality in the past, but not anymore. AND it wasn't fast.

 

The Si is only slightly faster than the Mazda Miata MX-5, which is much much much slower than the SS/TC even on a road course.

 

Yep, my Si was not impressive at all. My SS/TC is 1000x better in all areas you can think of, including quality. Even the paint is better.

 

I find this surprising. Ive always heard Hondas were top notch in quality,but then again I have no first hand experience with them. I do love my Cobalt. The new TC seems so much more refined compared to the 2.4. Interesting isnt it?

 

My family has always owned Hondas and they've been virtually indestructible. My parent's Odyssey with 160,000km on it (100,000mi) feels more solid and put together today than my SS/TC did the day I rolled it off the lot. It still drives like it's brand new despite being absolutely hammered on for every one of those 100k miles; be it my mom slamming into every single pothole on the road, 3 kids learning to drive on it, or my dad and I using it like a pickup, it takes it all.

This sentiment is echoed by almost all Honda owners I know. That being said, I respect Hondas, I don't love them. I don't see myself ever owning one.

...And as for the paint, really? My TC has terrible paint

 

4 days, 13 hrs, 22minutes, and 47 seconds EXACTLY.

And you can quote me.

 

Rattled on day 1. The rear window defroster has like two resistors on either side where the current goes through the glass. These have rectangular covers that just rattle incessantly. I was going to just put some scotch tape over them to hold them in place. Anyone have a better idea?

 

22 min and 47 sec. damn. how many milliseconds? nanoseconds?

 

A dab of silicone or goop to hold it in place

 

my old eclipse spyder rattled like hell so even a little rattle in this car is still pleasing.

 

weird. I had a 95 talon with 172k on it and not one rattle.

 

convertible is a different story.

 

oh true

 

It depends on how much you use the subs.

 

thump thump thump

 

I now have a bonking from the passenger side whenever the chassis twists a little like when backing out of a drive way or going over road imperfections. It's not the suspension. It seriously sounds like a bolt used to hold a body panel to the frame is loose. Taking to the dealer. I swear the workers who put my car together were high.

 

20k plus, still no rattle

 

congrats. so far no rattles for me. I have a slight noise coming from the glove compartment but Im not sure Id classify it as a rattle.

 

2800 miles and I have some squeaks, nothing major.

 

3,900 miles. Nothing except my license plate rattling on my windshield. I really need to get my front plate mount put on.

 

sub 45 degrees brings out all kinds of rattles, i have the steering column rattle, driver side door rattle, battery bracket on trunk trim rattle, and back seat rattle. Solution: turn up radio

 

Muffler delete cured all my rattles.

 

oh damn. I forgot about the winter rattles. There horrible. ah well.

 

I don't mind winter rattles as much as the suspension creak...ugh that's utterly embarrassing, worse than the squealing brakes.
