I hear ya. I have a similar model (june) and have had a few minor problems, however the ride more than makes up for it. I have just noticed though that the material under one of the rear headrests is coming out. we've never moved that headrest so I haven't noticed it before... will get that looked at at the 3000 km service that will come too soon. I haven't had any of your problems, but I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled.
You're right, the manual gear change is so smooth and I often find myself at 4 - 4500 revs before I know it, my old corolla hardly ever went past 3500.
Cheerio.
Owen.
