Picked mine up Friday, used with 3k miles. Problems I didn't notice during the test drive but now have surfaced:

- Fuel smell with the top off, even more so with the windows up. (!!)

- Front speaker covers deformed and fell off when parked in direct sunlight (actually happened before I bought the car, but was told it would be fixed under warranty)

- I'm pretty sure I have the loose exhaust shield others reference. There is a tinny rattling noise coming from the engine bay at certain RPM's.

- I am getting a very slight clunking being transmitted back through the steering wheel over bumps usually while turning. Perhaps a sway bar link has some play? Very minor and I haven't noticed any adverse handling as a result. Car is not LSS.

Will hopefully get it to the dealer some time this week & report back.

So excited to finally be driving one of these... much better than I thought it would be after lusting over one for the better part of 2 years, which is saying something.
