Do you expect your new car to be free from glitches?

So after I bought my RAV4, there were some glitches that I had to hunt down and fix. First was a climate control issue that I "resolved" using a Carista module. The dealership didn't know about this issue since it's such a rare and intermittent error that I couldn't reproduce. The second is the brakes squeaking when backing up. It seems from some internet searches this is common.

So after you buy a new car, is your expectation it to be perfect? Or there to always be some glitches. Are you okay paying $30-$60k for a new car to be glitches? I know some of us buy the first model year of a car (like the new RAV4). For those of you who do so, do you expect some glitches but that they are fixed later on? Or are you okay living some with some?
