My only constant rattle is the glove box; but I do get random rattles from the instrument cluster and windows once and a while.

It does suck, but it's not just Mitsubishi. My last car was a 2008 Mazda 3 Sport, and it also had tons of rattles. =/

so very, very true!!

also add no auto up for the windows, no auto close for the sunroof, the air con could be better (it was 43deg today!!) and no option for recaros in australia

 

Same here. I had the Mazda 3 for a month and I had a lot of rattles in that car.
And the A/C was horrible!!! I've never been in a car that had that week of an A/C.

Hm... There's auto up windows for my car... also my a/c is so much better than the mazda3 I had a couple months ago...

 

The Canadian Ralliart has an auto up driver side window, and the AC seems to work fine, however we never get to 43 C!

 

+1. *Furiously knocks on wood*

 

When it comes to rattles some people are a lot fussier than others.

Minutia does not bother me however some people go literally ape **** if the tiniest squeak or rattle is heard.

I know one guy who lost it because a paint repair had the tiniest pin head of a flaw adjacent to the door handle of a friggen LEASED dodge minivan. He cried so much that they repainted it six times and never once was he happy.

Everyone he showed why he was displeased agreed he had a screw loose.

Not to say that complaints are not valid however it has been in my experience (sold Toyotas) that peoples expectations when they buy a new vehicle can border on obsessive and delusional.

 

It's true; though you can't really blame someone for expecting their 25k+ car to not rattle.

But I agree about it depends on the person. I'm pretty OCD, and I know that, so I keep that in mind.

Never heard a rattle in my RA. Could be due to the sound system turned to 40

 

Yes turning up the music does help... until you turn it down again.

can't believe you guys get the auto up feature!! one of the most annoying things ever not having it

 

You dont?

 

Holy Crap !I never even knew I had auto up until I read this thread

 

must be an aussie spec thing without the auto up :cry:

 

Have you tried pulling all the way back on the toggle pass the first "click" for the drivers side window? Should have auto-up.

There's a bit of a resonating rattle coming from behind the clock in the dash at around 1800-2200 rpm, seems like just before the turbo fully spools.

Aside from that and the various recalls, no problems yet. *Knock on wood*

I mean, what other car company can offer the EVO IX awd system, twin clutch transmission, a turbo charged motor, and a body that doesn't look like a pig for this price?

If I had waited till the sportbacks were out, I would have my perfect car right there next to an audi s4 (also with fold down rear seats).

 

Regardless of price, a car that is less than 1 year old should not rattle period. It shows poor craftsmanship and not complaining to the dealer only means quality will slip further down the road.
