All I have to say is I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I love almost everything about it.

I'm already almost done with the break-in. I can't wait to start revving it up to really see what she can do.

My only problem so far is a rattling noise from the region of the passenger side front door when on bumpy roads. Any ideas?

I've been reading this forum for a while, although I don't post much. Thanks for all of your useful tips and info.

Default I have the same noise
Took the car in for my 5K check-up and asked them to check. They ran out of time and I had an appointment so I thought I'd save it for another day. It seems worse when you rest your left arm on the door.

Default For the rattling B-Pillar - see FAQ on "B-Pillar Rattles", also I have noticed if I
adjust the seatbelt height adjuster to a certain position it rattles.

Default I had about 850 miles on her when I went to bed last night...
Not bad for three days. Like I said, I LOVE to drive this car!

I'm being careful not to go over 4k rpm. Actually, I keep it below 3.3k almost all the time once I'm out of first gear. But I'm not being so gentle on the suspension and tires... this car is just TOO fun in the twisties.

Default Oh yeah, thanks for the tips on double declutching, NASA...
You gave a me a really detailed response to my questions a few weeks ago. Now that I have my car I've found those tips to be invaluable.
