I've had my car for 3 weeks now, and have noticed the following:

-A very irritating small sqeak from the roof just above drivers head. Squeak is not quite the right word. Sounds like when you put your finger on a piece of scotch tape and lift it of. I do not seem to have issues with the windscreen discussed here: Roof liner squeek solved

-Suspension: Not sure I would call it a loud knocking sound as discussed in other thereads. On smooth speed bumps, the suspension is great, but on sharper ones, perhaps with tile edges, and on potholes, I think the suspension is quite noisy, front and back, especially the back. Should I get them replaced, or is this because the car is sporty and stiff?

-Rattle from the back. This seems to be intermittent, perhaps weather dependant? Get some pretty loud rattles when going over sharp bumps and holes. Have no idea where it could be coming from.

-Drivers side door handle. I have to press it quite hard to open the door. Passenger side is much more smooth.
