creaking through shifter/rear thump

I have an '03 9-3 SS Arc with 6 speed manual and only 6K miles. Perhaps this is just another cold weather creak, but has anyone noticed a quiet creaking sound that can even be slightly felt through the shifter when pulling out from a stop? I'm not sure if it's coming from the console, where the console meets the dash, or perhaps from under the dash. With the radio turned off I can hear this when engaging the clutch to pull out in first or when shifting from first to second. Road noise may be masking it after that.
I am also hearing a thumping sound from the rear passenger side of the car in cold weather when going over bumps (I don't hear this in the summer). It is there when the seat is latched or folded down and I made sure everything is secure in the trunk, including the tools. I even thought it may be due to a loose fitting rear door, but I also remember reading threads about the plastic wheel well liner making noises.
