or have they finally fixed the problems? seems like most of the complaints are for the 06 and 07 cars.

I haven't heard any yet really (knock on wood)
But I'm really paranoid and if my keys rattle I would turn off the radio to make sure its not a car rattle.

in hot georgia, you shouldn't have a problem.
but if it does rattle, just stick a foam in it. cuz 90% of the time, based on all the repair experiences on this forum, the rattles come back.

No rattles here, but it's way too early to know. I live in a hot climate, and don't put heavy miles on it, so I am hoping that I will be able to dodge the bullet. I love my ride, and if I don't get rattles I'll keep it forever.
I'm thinking of upgrading my front speakers. Is this something that will increase my likelihood of introducing dash rattles?

I get that rear right window rattle occasionally, but haven't had anything else.
not 09 but i have rattles when it's 108F outside now, heat.. has nothing to do with what I am hearing
Yeah, the GS comes standard with a set of hot climate rattles and a set for the cold climate as well 
No rattles. I had my car for 1400 miles. I did have a couple of rattles when I bought it but the dealer fixed them pretty quickly and easily.

My 08 started to rattle at about 2000 miles, Lets hear it from a 09 owner who lives in the colder climate who have gone thru a whole winter with their 09 GS.

the GS is like wrinkles.
every now and then, you need to visit the doc, and inject botox........... for the rest of your life.
i personally don't mind them anymore. old cars all get loose and noisy.
besides, the rattles make the car sound more sporty. like honda s2000

I live in the Phoenix area, and aside from experiencing a rattle on day 3 of ownership (the small panel behind the driver's door handle), there have been no rattles. My GS is an '07 with 21000 miles on it.
