Make sure that the oil has been changed often, always with a good synthetic.

One noise that seems ominous, but is very easy to remedy, is the "fuel line rattle" that sounds like something is coming part ahead of the glove box, but actualy originates under the car. Another forum member had the dealer replace the timing belt for that one before learning about it. OOOO-A3 has a good write-up on that:
