It's serious if you have one like ours which drive you nuts. It makes me hate the car at times... makes me really wish I never bought the effing thing.

I am going to rip this POS apart this weekend and see if I can fix anything.

It's safe to say that right now I HATE my car.

To think I chose this car over the Cayman S. It makes me wonder now if that extra $20k or so would have been worth it!!!

As long as you're capable of taking this car apart to seek and destroy the rattles, it's not that bad. I'm just pissed that I spent nearly $40K and I have to seek out rattles. This is a warranty repair I could ask the dealer to fix, but I just don't trust anyone else messing around inside my cars.

Yeah, the problem with dealers is that they have very selective hearing and almost NEVER hear the rattles that you do. Unless you're riding with them on a test drive and can point it out to them, they probably won't ever fix a damn thing.

I think we've got to go like ZCarGo and fix the stuff ourselves.

BTW, my Mustang has rattles galore. I never bothered to fix them, but they are annoying as all hell. A little (well a lot) music usually solves the problem!

I plan on taking it apart this weekend while I install my short-throw shifter. I'm going to take the hatch apart and see what I can do.

$20K for a rattle? OK, well, it's your money...

Why not spend 20K on a killer sound system...and turn it up? LOL..

Hahaha... it bothers the hell out of me!

Lately I haven't been hearing much in the way of rattles so I'm feeling better.
