Almost 4000 miles, no problems. Well, the tire pressure monitor light came on, but that was fixed by removing the screw from the tire and patching it!

 

Most good auto manufactures sort out the bugs in the first 6-8 months. I picked up my 8 two weeks ago an I'm happy to report that my gas mileage has already increased, the exhaust smell has been gone after the first couple of days, and the engine seems to be loosening up quite nicely. My 8 only has 700mi. So it is fair to say that it's still early in the game and something could happen in the miles to come.
