Default Engine vibration is nominal on newer 2.8 models... but anyone notice creaks under...

... the glove compartment by the passenger's foot area?

I tried wedging a folded thick piece of tissue in the corner edges so that little panel wouldn't creak so much when my car is at idle on D.

anyhow, just the little things that bother, just like the friggin B-pillar creaks over bumps... and the control arm bushing squeaks... and...

otherwise, I love this car to death, and cant wait for the day till I Put on my snows and drag it's *** around 18" of snow.

Default That's the problem with the 2.8, it's so freaking quiet, you hear every little noise...

18 inches is nothing. Last winter we got 2 storms with over 2 feet each, and I drove up my unplowed insanely steep driveway with no problem. Well, one problem, the snow was coming up over the hood, and the wipers couldn't clear it fast enough, so I had to drive Ace Ventura style, head out the window. (I **** you not!!)

Enojoy!
