Purchased mine in June of 2012 with only 9,600 mi thus far. Just don't drive much and my work is close. Had to replace on e taillight. Have the beloved crickets but could care less to waste my time getting that fixed. I hear a mildly low toned 'rattle' when idling with AC on. Not too concerned about it unless this thread says I should be. All and all it should be a great car. I will be happy if this car is anything like my old 2005 tC that had only 87k without one single issue.

p.s. for the OP, I'm @ 41k and everything's been very reliable except: -Slightly un-flush body panel on right side door to front quarter but I stopped caring. -Shift honk as mentioned -I accidentally let the battery die twice and now it has a dead cell and struggles to hold a enough of a charge for more than 24 hours to start the car. But this is my fault.

They want to but they won't unless they can reproduce the problem. That's the issue. If it starts doing it with some consistency then I will drive there, tell the manager to get in and I'll replicate it for him. But now, it might do it once or twice a week.

7,400 miles since Aug '13 issues (nothing earth shattering and not too nitpicky):
Once saw a little condensation last winter while removing melted snow from right tail light. Some chirping. Not all iPod/iPhone album art appears while using the USB connection or streaming through Bluetooth. |

I wish it were only a "few" bad cookies.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15577 Unfortunately it's around 280, and those are the ones on the forum. Who knows how many have actually had the issues/will have them in the future? |
