Lifter knock I've been getting lifter knock after startup since new. Especially loud when stepping on gas pedal. Goes away after about 30 seconds. What's up with this? My last car to do this was a 78 Firebird. Embarrassing when I start my "new" car and it sounds like a car with 200K miles on...

If I want to lower the window half way, it becomes more difficult than it should requiring two separate button pushes instead of one like every other car I have driven. The open-an-inch feature is nothing but an annoyance. What about the auto headlights? Someone on this forum must have read...
