I'm not worried about first-year production faults. They are usually recalled and repaired under warranty for no cost other than the slight inconvenience of having to bring your car back to the dealer. Small price to pay to have this car, IMO.

I've said this in another thread but I am worried a bit about the electric steering components and the powertrain but not to the degree that I won't buy a first year car. From the amount of beating that Toyota and Subaru are doing to these cars, it seems like they would have caught (and I'm sure they have) some problems in testing.

Anyway I don't HATE sunroofs, I just don't like them and don't really use them. Every car I've had, had them, because they were not an option, just there.

Sidenote:

My 02 Civic SI (it's first year) has had it's share of problems. I did however buy the car used in '06. The main thing is the EPS, it creaks. But really it's just an annoyance more than anything. Plus most of the other problems, I'm sure, we're exacerbated by the previous owner.
