Kevin, I think we seem to have run out of minor common faults s I'll leave it to you to work your magic. Having had a look through, yeah there is maybe a few things on the list but it';s nothing that a little time and patience can't sort out, and nothing really bank-breaking either.

Rear glass hatch rubber surround works loose, noticeably along lower centre edge. Most noticeable when car exposed to long periods in the sun ... so probably not that common
Apply silicone sealant and push back into position.

The problem above reminds me of another. The dasboard is prone to cracking near the light sensor. The dashboard then squeaks. It's more common in the sunnier parts of the States than here though.
If your fear of staying alive, outweighs the thrill of making the corner, brake.
The wheel well liners clips become brittle rendering any atempt to disassemble them destructive.
Bolts for the lip spoiler and the front number plate mounting plate, rust in place and require three hands to work loose without ripping the lower front balance.
Sun visors split open at the seams.
Before buying a new one (really £50 for a bit of rubber I ask you!) I experimented with stretching my one back to full length (ooh vicar!). It retracted back again after a few weeks and I repeated the process. It hasn't shrunk again so I dare say that if you simply pull it back to length a few times it might be ok? Failing that a small bit of adhesive or double sided tape at either end should stop it shrinking again for no cost.

when the final list is comiled, perhaps there could be list of DIY/ Dealer fixes at costs so that prospective owners can put all of this in perspective?
