If you have popping noises at idle and other times.. Then you should be able to take it in under warranty and have them take care of it. Try another dealer if they aren't taking you seriously.
I don't have any popping noises.. I drive it hard above 5k rpms and shift all the time.. Every chance I get.. And I don't have any issues.. And there are tens of thousands of others out there doing the same.. Seems some early builds have this issue.. A handful compared to the amount sold... Seems like an isolated issue to me.. If it were a design issue.. Then we would be seeing a lot more of these problems and they would be easily duplicated.
There would be thousands of people with blown engines. No doubt about that. I will find out soon I guess because 5-7K range for me is pretty much happening daily.

As much as I love this car, I am not emotionally attached to it. If it came to the point where I could no longer reliably drive the car I would sell it and move on.
