Summary:
I love the car and all my friends do too - I recommend it and will probably buy another next time!
Faults:
The day after I got the car the passenger front window would not roll up. The used car dealer fixed it for me at no cost.
The Bose stereo pops from time to time - I have not taken it in to have it looked at.
General Comments:
The car drives beautifully on dry pavement. Excellent handling, quick, responsive, feels like a sports car with lots of pick-up when needed. However, on a recent rainy day (it had been dry for a long time so the streets were very slick) I fish-tailed going around a corner at a normal speed. It was not easy to bring it under control. I have top-of-the-line new tires on all four wheels, but the back-end is very light. I will be adding two fifty-pound bags to the trunk and will keep them there year around and imagine that will take care of the problem.
The price for a used car of this quality is tremendous. It is definitely a lot of value for the money. I paid $7,500 for the car - in excellent shape with all scheduled maintenance done.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Funny how I can relate to the same problems!
About 2 months ago, my driver side front window would not roll up either. It turned out that the window motor was broken, so I had to get it fixed.
In the rain, when making turns, my J30t would fishtail also. I figured that it was either b/c of my lead foot or maybe the V6 was too much. However, after reading your post, I thought about the weight of the rear end of the car.
Another thing is that my Bose speaker system was popping too. It eventually went out...so, now I drive around with no music! It's unfortunate, but since then, I've been more aware of any weird sounds coming from my car - if any, that is!
Despite all of these problems, I still love my car very much!
