Popping sound when parked
I am hearing some very minor popping sounds coming from the engine or near the front wheels. Anyone else have this or heard of it? This is only when parked right after driving. I have yet to go through the manual so I apologize if its something obvious.

^ this, though I notice it more with this car than any other I have had. It's probably because the whole exhaust manifold is encased in sheet metal. That is where most of the popping seems to be coming from as it cools.

Yeah, it's a little concerning at first but, as previously discussed, it's normal for our flat four.

Keep in mind the flat 4 has a lot longer exhaust manifold (factory) than most I-4s, so there's a lot more heat shields to expand/contract than other cars.

popping/creaking sounds (especially at night) could also be due to this:

Perfectly normal. I've heard cars back in the early 90's even doing this.
Metal contracts and expands and is normal. |

Tow it to the dealer. You have a Smurf gang war going on inside your exhaust.
Metal contracting. That's all. Quote:
