I love my FR-S but this car sure is one rattly/tappy mess. Like others, I'm experiencing the tapping noise discussed in this thread. In addition, I'm also hearing a chirp every 15-20 seconds when driving with the air conditioning on, buzzes from the doors when any music with bass is played, and a variety of rattles and buzzes from all around (it's like Dolby Digital Surround Buzz in there).

To the car's credit, I will say that I live around Portland, Oregon and the freeways here in the Pacific Northwest (both OR and WA) are in the worst condition I've ever seen, and I've lived all over the U.S. (MI, TN, CA, AZ, NY, and NC, too).

I went ahead and submitted an inquiry using Scion's website (contact form: http://www.scion.com/contact/). I don't know if it will do any good, but I would recommend everyone send a quick note so we can make them aware of the issues (Subaru's contact form is here: https://www.subaru.com/shopping-tools/contact-us.html)

Side note: this is an absolutely awesome club forum. You guys rock!
