That said it is a light weight car with very little fluff to hide the noises that even the best of cars make both interior or road.

I guess that "cheap" looking is also subjective since I never thought of the FRS as such. Basic yes. Cheap no.

My 2017 has had rattles since the day I bought it. Most have been fixed easily with a bit of hockey tape but a few persist. It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

That's what you get for buying a BRZ. They take all the bad ones on the line and use them for the BRZs and keep the good ones for 86s.

heir most recent interiors tick all the same boxes as all the other brands in similar categories, but there's just something about it all that is just 'off'. like a really good cover of a mainstream song. you know the tune, know the words, but when it comes down to it, it's just not the same.

And then they have to brainwash their customers into thinking their cars are quality by paying for fake awards and making commercials where paid actors go: ‘OMG itS liEk a AuDI haD A bABy wItH a TEslA aNd TheN maRrIEd a lEXis! OmG!?!?’ |

Sometimes I contemplate picking up a new 2020 simply because I hope they might have fixed the interior rattles. But I have seen several posts like this that let me know they definitely have not. It seems like a crap shoot whether you car will have the rattles or not. Some people just get lucky but most don't. |

Hah, yea, I've never figured out why Chevy thinks I'm going to be impressed by the impressions of a group of people that can't look at a debadged car and at least one of them know who the manufacturer is. Particularly a Malibu that screams "I'm a Chevy" so loud it hurts.

I always chuckle when I read some of the biggest complainers threads. Turboed with the loudest BOV I can find, went catless header and straight pipe exhaust, threw some $500 coilovers on, Stripped out the interior and bolted in a home made roll cage, have super hard performance tires but THIS CAR SUCKS BECUASE THERE IS A CLICK IN THE TRUNK. I repeat it is an inexpensive car with as little weight as they could get away with so there are going to be small sounds. At their worst they should be a minor annoyance but our brains like to fixate on such things and blow them way out of proportion.

My '13 has almost 170,000 miles and no rattles whatsoever. When it was new I had a rattle from the drivers door speaker that would drive me nuts. I took the door card apart and foamed up the speaker area. But it turned out the rattle was coming from my garage door opener that I had clipped to the door.

It is an improvement.
