bought my 08 in november 07 and like the car very much....no tranny issues, not thrilled with the brakes they seem to need a lot of effort , gas mileage so far has been 25.6 for 1400 miles, also the car has a creaking noise near the a-pillar on passenger side i will have looked at when it goes in for 5000 mile checkup, anyone else have that sort of noise???.....Rudy
