Just a note on rattles and such... if it's not obvious, it also depends on where you're driving. I bought my car in San Francisco and had it down there for 6 months before I moved to Seattle. It never made a sound to be concerned about.
Because Seattle has harsh winters (harsh=snow/ice), where San Francisco did not, the roads are obviously a little more worn and thrashed. Within 3 weeks of Seattle driving my car started rattling left and right. Then I moved to Portland 9 months after that and all went to hell. The car rattles EVERYWHERE. Dealer won't chase 10+ rattles though and for every rattle I get resolved, a new one appears. I just crank the music or roll down the windows and I'm content.
A buddy of mine drives an '05 S4 though and that thing is solid. The cabin feels very "snug". No rattles, hardly any road noise. I do envy that one thing, but ONLY that one thing.
