I daily drive my G8...5400miles. over all i like the car but i hate the **** Stock tune. it shifts like **** and has an abundance of Torque management that pretty much makes the thing fall on its face when i come off the line. i was dissapointed in the 1/4 times b/c of this. nothing a tune wont fix but i dont want to void the warranty so im gonna leave it alone for the time being.
the radio sucks...plain and simple
i dont have any rattling in it but it only has 5400 miles so we'll see what happens.
ive takin it on 3 very long road trips this past summer and it performed flawlessly.
i would still buy one if i was to do it again but i would find a used one instead of buying it bran new.

Not way better, a little better. Superchips has CAI specific tunes and they just revised the trans tune so my car shifts so much better now. Plus I can change settings anytime I want, with a shop tune you can't do that. If a CAI and catback or axlebacks are the only mods, the SC tuner is excellent. If you have headers or a cam a custom tune is the way to go.
