We've noticed, quite easily, creaking from what may be the suspension, when getting in and out of the car. We're not exactly heavy people, so it's not that!

We've also noticed that at the top of our road, when we brake and steer sharply to the left, that something creaks again. Seems like the brakes, as it does it louder when braking harder, but could be the suspension too. Not sure if it does it when steering to the right, as we've not found an appropriate place to brake while sharply turning right-wards.

We thought perhaps it would be because the car was new, but it's now done nearly 800 miles, and it's still doing it, just as loudly.

Does this sound normal? ...coz it's a bit embarrassing!
 
Mine creaks very loudly when I get in and out (and everyone knows how light I am!), but it's done it from new so I never worried about it. The other bit I'm not so sure about though.
 
its the handbrake, and the brake shoes moving on the wheel as the car moves on its suspension.

apparently cant be fixed!.....i did ask.....must b a 500 thing!
 
Does it happen with all 500's then? Coz I hadn't noticed it with the demo models and the courtesy 500 we had...
