Front wheel bearings replaced.
Windshield wiper motor and mech replaced.
Interior mirror replaced TWICE.
Front bumper reclipped.
Driver seat track replaced.
Brake light wiring harness changed.

On the day the lease ended and we took it back the salesguy tried to talk her into an SUV. I told him after the quality issues with that car there was no way we were getting another Pontiac. He said "oh there are no issues with these" and closed the back door. The whole door panel fell off into the back seat. I simply said "I rest my case" and walked away.

IIRC, the S7 is fine. It is the note 7 that is exploding.

I have an s7 and it hasn't killed me yet

I leased the Fiesta as an experiment to see how well it holds up. From 4000 miles on the thing has rattled more than any other car I have owned, including 2 WRXes with up to 60,000 miles on one and a Nissan Sentra Spec V with over 110,000. The Sentra had the CD changer break twice and went through 3 engines though (all covered under warranty). An interior panel on the rear hatch has also fallen off the Fiesta, as well as the trim around the rear driver's side window. I took apart the rear dome light to put in LED bulbs (yo) and noticed 3 screws missing on the assembly.

That being said, the engine and transmission are strong, albeit barely broken in, and the thing is an absolute riot to drive. I enjoy driving the BRZ more, but it really isn't fair to compare the two. The only similarities they have are on paper, and even those are slim. Still, the Fiesta is whole lot of fun for the money.

Hey, you guys with dash cams with GPS... can you request a location from your dash cam at will (like if your car was missing) or does it just attach the info to the video?

There you go. I got a huge door ding within the same time. Now you don't have to worry anymore.
