Are you looking for something to complain about? It's a shame to get up and start worry about a car you don't even have. Be assured some things will be fixed, some won't, that's life; I'm sure you'll find something to be unhappy with if that is your preference.

"Exhaustive List"?

My S now has 3.8k on it and there is only one problem, cold-start, and it's not all that bad. Yours is out far enough they might even have that fixed by then. The vibration damper problem has been fixed since April cars so that's not an issue.

I don't have any squeaks or rattles. My seats go back and forth with no problems. You must follow the arrows and move the lever in the correct direction though.

The power steering is a little noisey a slow speeds but nothing to really complain about.

The car as a whole is so fantastic that it's hard to worry about little things. The engine and tranny on it is so amazing. I've never had a car that shifted so easily, positively and crisp. Some people talk about first being a little tall but I think it's perfect. The engine delivers so much torque that you can drive comfortably at lower revs. I find I go as slow as 50 in high gear on relatively flat ground.

I think you will love it when you get it. Go for some test drives in the meantime.
