^^^^^ +1.

1200 miles. Finally past break in miles. Revving to 7000. No chirps, cels, rattles, no problems at all. Daily driver. Hope I didn't just jinx myself.

Only thing I'm committed to is cocktail hour at 5:00.

I got a little moisture in the taillights when I washed it last weekend but it burned out really quick. Not going to call that an issue until I see if it is common every time I wash it / it gets rained on.
wasn't this supposed to be fixed on the production line a long time ago? not sure why i still hear people saying they have this issue. can you tell when your car was manufactured?

haha sorry I had to.

Yeah I don't know that how accurate that pure-gas.org site is, but it used to be ok. The station I was going to recently adopted ethanol though.

I had a popping noise on the rear deck, but I could get rid of it by applying lube to 2 spots.
I have HPFP noise and tail light condensation that I didn't get fixed yet, but there are TSBs for those issue and they're minor.
I have 4800 miles now.

I might just be picking at it, but the only issue I have is filling up gas. The first time I went to fill up the tank it leaked because I couldn't get the whole nozzle to fit inside the tank. I want to fill up until the first click, but too scared to have the gas overflow again, so I judge how much I put by what the fuel gauge states. Is anyone else having this issue?

Mildly have the idle issue, but it is tame enough it just adds a bit of character.
