I wonder if there's a problem more with one factory versus the other when it comes to rattles,creaks,TSB etc..I have a late 06/06 build from Kyushu and the car has been pretty solid.No TSB need except for the brake pads.

Mines was assembled in Kyushu. Kind of wished it was built in Tahara with its other siblings like the LS. but I dont have the rattling problem either. *knocks on wood* well except for the one in the pillar by the seat belt.
