REPAIR LIST!! lets see whats broken!!
05 build here,
Had the year 1 A/C growl, fixed under warranty.
Radio pop, fixed under warranty, but still will do it on extremely rare occasions.
Front bow tie, replaced under warranty.
HVAC blower, replaced under warranty.
Passenger side water drip, easy fix myself in my garage.
Front end "clunk", only when temps are below 20* and only one area of road it does it on.
Rotor shimmy and replaced @ 47k. Could have turned and kept going, but since I was in there, why delay the next job for maybe 10k miles and just be done with it.
I've spent less on this that my wifes Mazda.... And she only has 6K more miles.
I still think the 08+ models have more issues than the earlier models.

08-
First week after buying used with 12k miles on it.
New Turbo
New Wastegate
New Emblems
Ebrake handle broke inside the handle, so whole new unit of that.
New intake bolt, but that was stupid service tech who didn't put it back in.
No breaks on start up (reflashed fixed auto SS)
Now, 3 months later
Break squeak that just won't go away- but with 19k miles not sure yet since dealer can't "duplicate"
Guauge cluster computer issue (reflashed)
Dash creak, havn't said anything about it yet.
To some this is bad, and yes it has spent 1/4 of the time I have owned it in the dealership, but nothing comapres to my GTO. In 6k miles that car had more work then the window sticker price, this car I have put 6k on and at least my diff isn't shreaded internally already... 3 times
