No issues yet. /knocks on wood. Clear bra gouged, but saved one big ass rock chip.

About the only thing I wish was different was that it was just sold as a toyota instead of scion. That would of saved a lot of explaining the toyota/subaru/scion deal

No complaints with mine after 1700 Kms. The only issue I have noticed is the idle dip from time to time when sitting at a light. Haven't experienced any rattles...yet!

Happy customer/driver!

Since I know the "put it in first gear at the stop light thud" is normal and I don't consider the crickets an issue.

Yup, I'm issue free. 1500 miles.

Overall no issues here. Have about 2700 miles on it.

Occasionally hear crickets but don't consider it a problem. Passenger window gave one or two squeeks but maybe I'm just enjoying the car too damn much to car.

I have no issues. Other then one or two rock chips already.

I did have the crickets but I filled up last weekend with 93octane pure gas instead of mobile 93 car runs so much better and no crickets.

One complaint I may have is there is no launch control for the auto.

I'm 2000 miles in and I have no crickets, no rattles, no condensation, or any other problems to note. Am I alone?
Maybe you always drive with the music on? All the noises I hear, I wouldn't hear if I play music on 100% of the time.

No issues other than hard breaking moving the cupholders out of place and spilling my coffee all over the car and not getting the plugs for the frame holes from the dealer.

One minor complaint is that I can get the car completely sideways with all traction control stuff on and it make this nasty grinding noise. That has more to do with my shitty streets but the noise makes me wince every time.
That's your traction/stability control. It's normal if you're hooning with all that enabled.
Invalid complaint...

A few stone chips, crickets, nothing that I would call a problem.

No problems.

I do get a slight chirping from the fuel system but I have noticed it can depend on the brand of gas I use, its normal. No other weird noises. If I remember correctly the manufacture date was 5/21.
