I have 600 some odd miles so far and no rattles, creaks or groans from the car. Just the cringe I get when I let the wife try driving it.

My sunroof has rattled since the day I pulled it off the lot. Hope nothing else starts though.

Don't you worry, something will. Rattles aren't a risk in this car, they're an inevitability. They're built like **** out of poor quality materials. You have to just hammer the throttle and turn up the stereo to forget

Yeah that's what I hear. Exhaust will deff help mask the rattling, or make it worse haha

Maybe my list of brand new cars with rattles will make you feel better about the GM products. 06 MKV GTI 6 speed package "0"- rattles, clunks, and squeaks within one month of ownership, 3-4 fixes, none worked. Every Mazda3 hatch I've driven has a clunk/pop in the dash. My 06 Mazdaspeed6- within 1 month had a few rattles. Test drove a brand new 07 Civic Si sedan- heard body flex and a dash noise within one mile. So, I get tired of hearing internet rambos bash US made cars for interior quality. Looking like quality and actually being made to a quality standard are two different things. Tight fit and finish usually speeds up the creak and rattle onslaught.
