Anyone here upgrade from the Gen 1 Cruze to the Gen 2 Cruze notice that build quality seems to be lacking vs the old car?
My old 2013 Cruze had very few issues from the beginning. So far my 2016 Cruze had a loose rearview mirror (that the dealer said was normal, but that I was able/forced to fix on my own), it has very noticeable wind noise from both front doors, and today I just noticed that after our storms here it has moisture in both headlight housings.
The car design/tech itself is much better than Gen 1, but I've only had this car for about 3 weeks and I'm going to have to bring it to the dealership already. It just seems like the overall quality of the Gen 2 cars is bad vs the Gen 1.
Anyone else notice this? Or has your transition from Gen 1 to Gen 2 been smooth?

Moisture in both headlights
I'm definitely bringing it to the dealer for some warranty work, just not sure when I'll be able to, unfortunately 9-5 jobs aren't really compatible with dealership service department hours.lol I'm just hoping that one of my local dealerships offers a free rental car as I'm expecting to have to leave it overnight at the very least. It's just really annoying because it's a brand new 2016, it shouldn't have these types of issues within 3 weeks of purchase. I'm also torn between bringing it to my local Chevy or Buick/Cadillac dealership or bringing it back to the dealership where I bought the car, as it's 50 miles. If away.
