Purchased my car on April 30th with 16 miles on it. Now it's January 29th, and I'm up to around 16,400. Oil changes every 4,000 miles. As long as I can keep it under 20k miles a year, then I'll have it paid off before my (purchased extended) 100k bumper-to-bumper warranty runs out, which suits me just fine.
Around 4k miles, the transmission started grinding horribly from 1st to 2nd at any shift point over 3k rpm. Babied it until I had a chance to get it to a dealer, at about 9.5k miles. They dropped a new transmission into it; now it shifts like greased butter.
Small rattles - one from somewhere in the driver's door, and one from what sounds like somewhere in the headliner where it meets the rear hatch... haven't gotten anyone to sit in the back at highway speeds on rougher roads to pinpoint it yet, but as soon as we get an over 60° day I'm gonna fatmat the entire mess, so hopefully that'll make it go away.
SLIGHT crinkling in the door tape. It doesn't bug me in the least. I'm not going to show my car, so meh. I can deal until it gets ugly.
