Had mine about 3 weeks and done around 600miles. No big issues, no chirping etc and just a tiny bit of condensation in the tail lights occasionally. Also some condensation inside the back window near the 3rd brake light in really bad weather one time.

Happy enough overall but if I could change anything I'd have a shorter clutch travel and firmer too (like my MR2) and much firmer accelerator pedal feel (more spring feedback or whatever) and have the accelerator pedal a touch higher for easier heel toe (or closer to the brake).

Oh yeh... I'd also have heavier steering at low speeds because it feels great at higher speed (not sure if the electric assist reduces with speed but it feels that way).

2000 kms, and so far so good. Knock on Wood!

But seriously, it's such a fun car. I make excuses to take it for trips. Sometimes I just take drives for the sake of driving. I think that makes me crazy.

Good to see everybody here enjoying their ride. I was just tired of seeing all of these complaints and I can't find any problems!

One month-765 miles: No chirping , rattling, transmission thumps, idling dips, condensation issues, etc. Very solidly constructed. Quite a pleasant change from the Corvettes I've owned.
