Just back from an intermediate service (oil change between 2 official services) and I mentioned to the dealer that the rubber on the drivers door (outside between the mirror and the B-pillar, pushing against the window) was coming a bit loose all the time. Apparently it is a known QP problem and it was repaired under warranty.... By the way I have 42.000km and clutch wear was only 18% and the dealer asked how I do this! Secret: almost no city traffic (3% maybe), no stop&go (>1%), always push it hard when the motor is warm, never change gear below 3000rpm and always use manual sport mode.....

Good to hear you are happy with your QP. I have 15000 miles on mine and already had to change the clutch once. Not surprising as I can not avoid the occassional stop n go in Florida. Traffic is very bad here. Otherwise I do the same things you mentioned - always manual sport, never shift below 3000 rpm and when engine is warm I shift at around 5000 rpm. That puts me at illegal speeds in thrid gear however
Anyway, had the same problem with the weatherstripping around the drivers door and around the rear door - fixed it myself and seems to be good now. Last week I jamed the automatic trunk closer and the computer had to be reset. Other than that the QP is probably one of the most reliable cars I ever had. Hope I didn't jinx it
