For what it's worth, I have a rattle - or more, a vibration, that is occurring from what seems like the driver's side door handle area. I notice it on bumps, or if the bass is up too high. I just kind of expect that though. If this was a $100k Lexus or Mercedes, it'd be another thing... You can't build something this light weight without having some of those issues.

Which makes me think - I wonder how this compares on average with a Lotus or Miata in terms of rattle-ability.
Lotuses rattle and creak like mad. So much so I cannot stand it for long periods of time and get a headache. Also the ride is extremely harsh, they are not daily drivers. On a side note Lamborghini is known to rattle worse than any scion out there.
