Passenger side boot on axle had hole from factory. Multiple scratches in paint all over car from dealership prep. I will never let a dealer prep a new car again. I want it with the plastic on! Still love it, no serious issues( if you don't count the paint)

I just traded one in on a new MSG coupe. My CE must have been a Monday car! It had at least 3 very loud squeeks, which I couldn't find, bad wind noise from the passenger window. The third brake light was mis-positioned so badly that I got water in the car every time I washed it if I wasn't extreamly carful (I could stick my little finger past the light into the car!). All nitpicky stuff, but annoying.

wind noise on the passenger side small world. I have wind noise too from the passenger window. If you put your hand on the rubber gasket towards the windshield you can change the pitch of the sound. I get this wind noise from my solid top. I also have the lexan top and I did not notice if it had noise. I am going to put the lexan top on and see if there is noise.
Those of you who are having wind noise is it from a clear (Lexan) top or a solid top. Have you used a hose (water) and checked for leaks ? I have a small amount of water getting through under high pressure. It is starting to bug me too. I took it back to a dealer and no real improvement.

I could not be happier with mine. I got the Coupe and I think it's the best looking color available. People Ohh and Ah over it wherever I take it. Last March I took it too a drag strip with me. I lost count of how many people stopped to take a picture of it. I like the fact that there are so few of them.

Was just curious.... I have had my CE coupe since the end of March & having a lot of problems with it..... Its been in the shop over 20 something days....There was a crack in the gas tank which was leaking on the exhaust (new gas tank installed), a gasket in the differencial was leaking (gasket replaced but didn't fix leak), they had to drop the whole rear to fix the leak, paint is fading in certain areas of the body.... Really love the car.... but very dissappointed.......
