Just want to know from the '05+ owners if they are having as much problems with rattles, squeaks, and all as the earlier years have had?

Thanks very much!

oh, and how many miles?

 

I have an 05 6MT. Yes, I already have rattles. One somewhere in the driver's door and another in the rear of the interior. I only have 4200 miles on the car. It mostly sits in the garage and comes out on nice days.

 

i have none so far

 

I have 06' AT , yes I have squeaks from center console, but no rattles.

 

i got a few rattles that show up now and then

 

I've got an '05.5 6mt coupe with just under 8k miles and i have no squeaks or rattles so far except when i have sunglasses in the sunglass holder

 

my car rattles esp. louder when i gave it a drop. after 100mph+ you can hear the road shake everything in your car

 

300 miles in.. and no rattles, just the rev of the engine for now..

 

I've got an 05 with 8,500 miles and not rattles.

 

My '06 A/T had some buzzing sounds, until I replaced the 19" wheels with 17" wheels and Goodyear GS-D3 tires. The softer sidewalls evidently absorb a lot of the road irregularities that the stiffer Bridgestones were transmitting to the car. The car may not be capable of handling to its ultimate potential with the tire change, but I didn't buy it to race anyway. I got out of a Z4 that was beating me to death with its Sport suspension and run-flat tires, so that I could have something sporty, but with a much improved ride. The Sport suspension on my G, along with the Goodyear tires, gave me just the ride and handling characteristics I wanted, without the annoying rattles. It appears as though the low profile tires and the sport suspension are contributing much to the rattles and other noises that plague many of the Gs out there.

 

Good point G. My 05 with 19s has lots of interior panel rattles on anything but smooth pavement. Looking for new tires, but 19s don't offer much cushion.

 

For those of you who don't have rattles, do you have any squeaks? How about the squeaking sound that comes from the top of the seat belt rubbing against the leather seat?

 

I have 13k miles on my '05. I've taken it to the dealer 3 times for squeaks and rattles. 1st time they replaced the rearview mirror, since it would start to buzz anytime the road wasn't smooth. 2nd time was for the driver side dash vent which makes a low pitched rattle. 3rd time was for the squeaking center console. The whole console moves from side rubbing on the aluminum around the shifter. The dealer used felt and double sided tape to fix. It doesn't squeak anymore, but it is still loose. There are a few service bulletins on the rattles.

The passenger side seatbelt rubs on the seatback, so I just adjust the seat for whoever is sitting there. See, I knew there was a good reason for them to mount the seat controls where they did.

 

That's not a problem on my '06 with the belt guides.
