That guy is just waiting bring a gun to work if he stays that wound up that he would be that upset about a little rattle, especially after alcohol. What is he expecting, a luxury car?
The reality of the rattling situation is the same with most all small cars that are known to have the issue, basically, ranging extreme temperatures and UV exposure is plain difficult for plastics to cope with without warping or otherwise loosing their shape/conformity.
The more your Fit is garaged, less exposed to sun, and less exposed to winter or any other temperature or sunlight extremes, the more conformant the cheap plastics that comprise the interior are going to remain.

maybe thats how they write all their complaint entries....
drink lots of wine... wake up with a hang over... see what annoys.... seats too high... little creeks here n there... the windshield is too big... the shifter doesnt feel sporty enough... lame..

I kinda dont get complaints about cars that YOU buy...you are the one that bought it...you knew the class, make, and why you buy something...if it was fast with no rattles, and got great gas mileage, and an awesome spare tire cover that wasn't flimsy it would not be at the price point that its at.
Personally I dont hear rattles because all the coin Im saving at the gas pump makes too much noise, I dont expect the fit to carry my heavy DJ equipment, although it would all fit in tall mode. And most of all its not hella fast...not sure what everyone thought they were buying, but my Fit is everything I thought it was gonna be.

The guy was hungover/dehydrated and tried to fix it with caffeine. No wonder he found something to get angry about on his morning commute. I'd take his opinion with a grain of salt.

I hear people complain about the rattles but I think this little econo car is made pretty d*mn well.
Its so weird but I don't have a single rattle yet on my car (keeping fingers crossed) Given I have 4K on mine and its not like I don't drive on rough roads plus the fact I'm lowered. Guess I will just keep hoping to have the same luck in the future.
