After 1 week of ownership, I have found 2 problems with the car.

1. Steering wheel does not point straight. It is a few degrees off to the left.
2. Surging / unintented acceleration when coming to a stop. Basically when slowing down (either with brakes or engine braking) the car in any gear, the car seems to accelerate slightly by itself as the revs drop just below ~1400rpm. Try it on your car and see if it happens.

Are these common problems on Australian delivered cars? Has anyone had these problems fixed by their dealers under warranty? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks
