OK, Ive got one - forgive me if its mentioned already.
The gauge pods on the dash - the little lips on the top? They squeak a lot it seems when I hit bumps. It took me a while just to figure out what the squeak was, until I pressed one, and just barely touching it produced the same, irritating squeak! Anyone else got this? Oh yeah, I think I have the "moving seat in spirited driving" problem, too

Not here, but the passenger's side taillight squeaks where it meets the rear bumper fascia as it is moved. I noticed this when I was washing the car.

Lack of telescoping steering wheel.
I'm 6'2 and I like to sit close to the steering wheel (wrists rest on top of wheel) but in order to get this close to the wheel my legs have to bend at almost 90 degree angles and my knees hit the bottom of the wheel. If I move the seat back to accommodate my legs, the steering wheels becomes further away than I would prefer.

yes they do. However, condensation issues in a tail light is not a new MY issue. that's simply quality control issue. It doesnt take many trials and errors to corrently seal a plastic housing. Engine, tranny, etc issues, yes they can be a new model issue. Not tail light condensation.

Is the fuel door lid lockable? From what I've read it seems like anyone can push the fuel door lid and open it. If that's the case then it sucks because malicious people can open the fuel door and pour sugar into the fuel tank.
