My rear view mirror is the only squeak so far but I haven't even hit 1k miles.
I'm considering taking it apart and wrapping whatever loud plastic is bouncing. Applying pressure between the mirror and the glass fixes it. |

OMG, my 2003 350z had terrible rattles in the center console/dash. It was mainly in colder months due to hard plastic.

I bet you that your sensitivity to car rattles increases with price tag. Your expectation for 60k is that it’s smooth as butter all around, fact is, the only way to do that is to engineer it to death or make it heavier. sit in any performance car, if the exhaust was quiet enough, you’d lose your mind from everything rattling. To reduce rattling the most common option is to add insulation/padding. Just look at how the BMW tech solves rattles. |

I know they changed out that center console area, probably because of complaints. Mine was a 2006, not that it didn’t also have terrible materials that peeled after a few years if you looked at them wrong. But they were at least pretty quiet. I think there was an occasional squeak around the rear hatch if I remember correctly by the end though. So maybe I should revise my original statement and say “it wasn’t too bad for an old car built on a budget”
