Did you test drive the car before you got it? I did and noticed no problems that you are speaking about. Yes, one car can have a rattle over another car- that can happen in any car. It really sounds like your car has a suspension problem. I had mine on the highway and I didn't even have my hands on the wheel - it drove straight without issue. Even on side roads I was testing the steering - no issues with it drifting without hands on the wheel. Brakes will differ from drums to abs obviously - can't speak on that. I really didn't have much if any torque steer. The guy I test drove with told me to get on it from a stoplight - so I did. I had no problem at all keeping the car straight - no pull really to speak of. Gas jerk - could be due to the Drive by wire. It takes some getting used to. Do a search on drive by wire or DBW and you'll see quite a few posts about it on the site. Hand brake - a number of members have expressed concern that they don't like the placement of the ebrake because it hits their legs. Some think that it could be replaced in the future with another aftermarket ebrake. I would surely take it to the dealership and have them look it over - drive it WITH YOU in the car, etc. Make sure it does what you are experiencing on the test drive. Again - did you test drive THAT exact car before you bought it?
