2005 Build Quality

I haven't been checking in here in a while. We leased a new '05 Arc Wagon, and I stopped doing maintenance myself (except oil changes). I'm curious what other people's experience has been so far with the quality of the 2005 models. My frame of reference is a '97 900s which I drove to 125,000 with some annoyances that were tolerable given the milage.
The 9-5 has 22K on it so far. Warranty claims to date:
Subwoofer replaced (it was a service loaner, so maybe someone blew it out)
Fuel tank replaced (baffles broken)
Heater blower motor replaced (noise)
Seat and mirror memory, and curb assist switches work sometimes
Stearing collumn replaced (loose, rattles)
Not a good sign for a car with 22K miles. Other than that, a blast to drive and a styling ride.
