Default My interior rattles so bad

It's a early 2000 model year. I don't know if it's just due to old age or horrible GM quality or a combo of both. But whenever I'm on a rough road or hit a hole/bump there are squeaks and rattles that just f*cking kill me. It's saddening because this is my vehicle for the next 7-8 years or so, I can only think of how bad it's going to get. It pisses me off because it seems like a new rattle pops up every day! The f*cking pullout cupholder is a piece of **** that rattles like crazy when it's open and it even somehow manages to make noises when closed up. End rant

That's the reason GM quit using that cupholder.

My exhaust can't get any louder. And I still hear it. Once you know it's there, you always listen for the rattles. POS GM.

Some people prefer to not drive a rattle trap.

Well, I can tell you for a fact I will not buy another vehicle unless I know the interior will not degrade over time. I think GM really stepped it up with the NNBS interior, both in aesthetics, functionality, and quality.

Just riding around in my friend's BMW 335i vert really made me appreciate a well built interior with high quality materials. If you thought what GM puts in their cars/trucks is leather like I did, boy was I in for a surprise. It just struck me how tight everything was. No noises, no road noise, no nothing. This is what I want out of my next car. Yes I know I'm talking about a 60k car, but I believe GM has the resources to sell a car with an interior at least of equal build quality at a fraction of that price now that they have become conscious that consumes want high quality interiors. It's kind of embarrassing for me to bring passengers in my car and have it making all kinds of rattles and whatnot. But more or less, it just aggravates and annoys me.
