Default Does your CRZ have many squeaks and rattles?

I'm seriously thinking about buying a CR-Z. However, a previous one that I drove for a few days had an annoying rattle coming from the passenger side hatchback. I've seen other people on this forum report the same issue. It makes me nervous about buying one. So I 'd like to know: How many of you have had rattle problems?

No rattles whatsoever for me... except, the garage door opener; scum plastic attached to the sun visor rattles like crazy above 4k rpm. But, that is not the CR-Z.

Purchased back Aug 2010. No squeaks or rattles and am on lowering springs almost a year now.

Make sure you have a proper test drive. And during the test drive, try to drive at high speed (at least 50 mph).

If you don't notice any rattles, noise vibrations or other squeaks, just go for it!

I've had my CRZ for 1 year and I never had the rattle in the back or the kazoo noise from high speed. Lately, I've experienced a vibration noise which I hope to have fixed today.

Overall, I'm happy with the car and I recommend it!

I have one rattle over on my left side that is driving me nuts! It has been in three times and going in for a fourth on Friday.

I have a rear visor rattle, but it doesn't do it enough for me to do anything to correct it.

I had the rear luggage cover rattle but just bought some double sided Velcro tape and position this in the correct areas and no more rattle. for the rest just cut and place non slip dash mats in the glovebox etc so stuff does not slide around,

I rattle in my trunk space but only because I ripped it apart to get a nut when it fell down as I was changing the suspension. I don't think I put everything back together completely but then again, I am thinking about tearing everything out anyway(including spare and what not).

zero on rattles or squeaks on all kinds of highway road surfaces at speeds to 85 mph. And any such would surely shown up on the atrocious concrete slow lanes on I-75 in north Alabama. When we hit the sector, my wife thought we just had a flat. Since there was pull left or right, I took my hands off the wheel to confirm it was just the nasty road. The fast lanes, both north and south, were much much smoother but nothing to rave about. Enough vibration to put nairline fractures in your dentures.
