Now that people have had their cars for awhile, how are 8s rattle-wise?

2200 miles and two months.
Temps down to 20°F here and there. Mostly in the 35°F to 45°F range.
No rattles or squeaks whatsoever.

Definite rattle from the both passenger-side doors (would be drivers-side in US) over major road irregularities and ridges. Plan to get dealer to look into this.

Also a few random creaks and rattles, but too intermittent and low level to easily track down. Pretty cold here - not much above freezing.

Ok...so I'm not going nuts. The freakin dealer couldn't figure it out last time. I'm planning to take it in for an oil change on Monday. I'll ask for a tech to demonstrate it to.
