I found it became noticeable after a couple of thousand kms, but it isn't loud and doesn't annoy me. I've decided to accept it as part of the character of the car.

Yeah and that too as I drive it to work everyday. A mix of city of freeway/highway driving but haven't noticed any rattles. Have also driven it up hill.Quote:

Love the sound of that burp during gear changes......
Heard the rattle today on a testdrive on a car with 90kms on the clock.
Just character I guess
Not sure whether it interest you guys on my observation.
My car was recently repaired following a Van gave me a rear end. Ive got my car back and for the past two weeks since I have been driving it, the rattled (at 2500 rev) is no longer there. I could only assume that they have secured the exhaust pipes better than when it came out of the factory.
drove a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, even a car that expensive is not free from rattle/creaks... let alone a VW, or M3, etc...Quote:

Yeah, agree with you on that about hearing it more on up hill runs. I've been getting around in my brothers mk 6 gti for the last week and a half. We were going up this mountain range just out of Canberra and the rattle was very loud, but on flat ground it's not very distinct. I would find it embarrassing having this loud rattle coming from my new car.Quote:

Looks like people are selling...only after little more than a year of ownership. Looks like the car isn't as good as people have been making out to be.
The funny thing is that the MkV didn't suffer from this particular rattle and their owners tended to hang on to them for longer.
It seems that you can't cut costs w/o sacrificing on quality ultimately.:rolleyes:
