Squeeks and Rust?

I notice my suspension is a bit squeaky when I get in and out of the car, no problem with rust though, well I guess it doesnt rain much out

MY suspesion is fine the squeak is coming from the side bolster of the drivers seat and it is quite annoying, I will be pushing to have the seave replaced. A $40K should not have seats that squeak in you ear as you move in the seat.

I had the same squeak in the left side of mine for first 400 miles. I was ready to take it back for a fix. I found, that when my seat was back as far as possible and the back reclined a bit, the bottom of seat back was rubbing the plastic trim behind seat when I sat in the seat. I moved seat forward a bit and problem fixed. While in your seat reach behind and and see if the leather is rubbing against the plastic.

I really love my car, but there is one thing about it that I don't like... this is the squeakiest, rattliest car I've ever owned, and I've owned a Ford Escort. Seriously, Nissan, what is up with that?

Weird. My Z is the most rattle-free, squeakless car I've ever owned. No BS. I can only say "well-done Nissan!". Sorry to hear it, man.
