I envy your low-mileage sunbelt car. You should be in good shape, provided it hasn't been abused.

The more I drive it the more I think it is closer to a squonky noise like you call it. I don't hear it on the highway. I only hear it on bumpy back roads. I hear similar stuff on our Tribeca. The noise was really loud when that car had issues with its sway bar bushings. It went from squonky to almost like a popping thunk.

Actually, the car is pretty comfy. I need to clean and condition the leather. I want it to stay looking and feeling good.
