I get the rattle by the drivers side door as well. Like a constant buzzing sound. Overall 5K on the car and am not overly impressed with it, looks alright but comparing it with my 2007 Citroen i feel the quality is just pure crap for interior feel, road noise. Reliability wise I can't comment. Toyota really has dropped the bar, I don't think i'll buy another Toyota again. It's a shame really I remember we had 2 Tarago's (or Previas as they are known in Canada), and that thing was an absolute tank. In 100k we had it, it didn't let off a single rattle, nor feel any looser than they day we bought it. It was almost as if it was a brand new car 100K later. The Corolla I am not so sure will last as long, will probably live up to the 3 year warranty period and then fall to bits.
