Those are small flaws that happen to a few cars when a new model comes out, nothing major.
Also, how do we know this guy isn't some Honda/Toyota/Nissan/Dodge/... fanboy that wanted to post to start some s***

I have 3000+ miles on my GTS and other than the drive by wire throttle taking a little getting used to, everything is fine. Don't listen to this guy.

I've got about 500 miles on mine, owned it for a week - no real problems.

A few minor things I've noticed - for example, on the automatic climate controls, even if you have the fan set to off it will pump out hot air in the morning when the temperature is less than 75 degrees (where I usually have my AC set). So I just have to remember to turn the dial down to 65. I also don't think that the mpg computer is particularly accurate - by what it said I should have averaged 20-22 mpg (or less) on my first tank of gas but instead it was closer to 28 (282 miles on 10.6 gallons of gas). Gas guage was reading less than 1/4 when I filled up but if it's a 15 gallon tank I still had 4.4 gallons left. Those are exceedingly minor 'problems' (has anyone EVER had a gas gauge that was always accurate?).
