That's kind of a ridiculous statement...Porsches aren't perfect either (yeah, I've had 8 of them). There are so many production variables that even the most expensive and revered nameplates can have a rattle here and there.. My Z is like a bank vault. Pretty darn good for the $$ and humble origins..

one of my cars is a 2008 honda fit. its great for what it is, around town, haul stuff in, i can get 2 bikes in the back with the seats down for instance.

i think its honda's cheapest car.

the 2009+ has more features than the 2008-. so its not chock full of amenities.. but it is put togehter like a swiss watch.

it is a matter of attention to detail.. and that attention does not necessarily have to come at a premium price..

You're right, and I don't really give a ****. Again, for clarity, I said it SEEMS like 50%. Is it really that big of deal? Do you need the attention or something?

Sorry, these are a figment of your imagination. They simply do not exist.

The rattle seems to be temperature dependent in my car. I usually notice it when the temperature is cooler outside. However, I can't find the damn cause of it for the life of me. Good thing my Ipod is in the car...

I don't notice the rattle until the car warms up.....still having trouble finding it.....
