I have had my local dealer fix three things under warrantee:
	top boot strap snap, because it tore out
	lower windshield molding, because a corner had broken clean off
	driver's seat belt (female side), because the seat belt warning
	  light and buzzer suddenly started coming on every time I started
	  the car, even with the belt fastened

These I did myself:
	clutch slave cylinder chirp (twice)
	loose passenger door outside handle (twice)

I think this is an acceptably short list for a first-year car.  I have had no
problems with the drive train or suspension at all.

I would very much like to see a list of known defects or factory service
bulletins.  Can I just ask the dealer to show it to me?  Can I make them fix
stuff that ain't broken but is on the list?
