C63 issues?
What problems, if any are you all having with the new cars? I've read about the few that have been posted. Maybe we can start a list with solutions for new owners/potential buyers out there.

None here yet. The only thing that gives me any concern is the smell of something burning after driving it hard in manual mode, but I have read that this is normal for the car

Can't help kicking out the tail every time I turn (on purpose).
Can't help trying to be first out from every red light by like 200 yards.
Can't help downshifting all the time instead of using brakes ('blip' doesn't seem to do justice)
Can't get over 200 miles a tank.

-Rear sunshade doesn't work anymore
-Gas gauge doesn't work anymore
-Seat functions don't work anymore
-Constant Rattling from vents
-CEL issues
-Key doesn't work anymore
Probably more stuff I can't remember.
Been in the shop for 2 weeks. Hopefully they'll figure it out

How many miles do you have on it so far or have you had issues with the car since day one?

I had my first problem(s) today. The heat fan was frozen, I had to drive about 90 km without heat and the temperature was -11 C, suddenly I heard "ice crushing noise" and the fan started to spin. The car is also warning me that I need washer fluid, which is full.

Love my 09, but...
I had a few electrical problems in the first 1,000 miles. First it was a headlamp error display; then they thought it was a light sensor (behind the rearview mirror). They finally replaced a faulty fuse box.
I now have 3,800 miles on it and recently got a service message that the cruise control is inoperable. However, after restarting - msg gone. Cruise works fine.
Today, I saw: Check engine oil at next fuel fill up. (Oil level fine)
Additionally, I smell exhaust when the sunroof is opened.
Does anyone experience these issues?

When I got the oil level notice the dipstick was indeed reading at minimum.

biggest issue - it causes us to get speeding tickets!
On the positive side, I absolutely LOVE the winter handling of this thing with proper snow tires. It's totally predictable and usable.
