It's amazing the stark contrast people experience with these cars.
Some have no rattles and some seem to have them all over the place.

I only have about 3700 miles and it's solid, and I drive on crappy Chicago area roads daily.
I've managed to only hit 1 small pothole so far, the quick steering and vigilance helps.

Also, I've read posts saying they have this whistle sound at speed. Pre 2010 1, we all have the same mirror setup, but my 1 is realy quiet at even over 100, other than tire noise and exhaust sound.

Anyone who buys a convertible especially with a sport suspension and RFTs should expect impact noise.
Change the tires to something more reasonable and the ride will improve noticeably.
