From Road & Track magazine, November, 2013, page 98:

"Almost everyone (R&T drivers) hyped the Subaru as the rebirth of a segment, but unless you're a parent, birth doesn't equal love. On long trips, the BRZ is noisy, its sixth gear too short, and its suspension never seems to settle down. The electrically assisted steering rack is pin sharp, but on the freeway, you spend a lot of time chasing the darty nose. Around town, you wish the engine -- which needs revs to produce significant acceleration -- was enthusiastic and enjoyable as, say, the four-cylinder in a Honda S2000 or a Miata."

It depends on the road your on but interstate driving in my BRZ is quiter then city driving. I just enjoy the car as it is my expectations were not super high unlike the writers of these reviews so I find more positives then negatives with my BRZ.
