What is really important is the Quality Control and amount of time investing during the experimental stages to work out as many kinks as they can. Based on what I've read about the lengths that Gm has taken to make sure this car is a success, It'll have minimal problems, as everything is not completely new. Both engine options are already proven, so I wouldn't expect much besides maybe a faulty sensor or stuck thermostat. Fit and finish should be ok. I think the major improvements they may make for the '11 is probably visibility.
they also might make a few things standard like halo lights.
I owned a first year production Mazda3 back in '04 and I only had 1 problem and that was a stuck thermostat. My '07 speed has more problems than the first year production model, mostly with the new engine.
I'm going to do what a previous poster said and that is to wait till around december and see where I want to go, plus it'll give me a chance to pay off a few credit cards before then as well.
