Don't expect this car to be quieter than a corolla, if close to that. I still don't see why people are expecting the car to be quiet, yet be as light weight as it is. Most luxury cars are quiet due to the added materials that also add weight. I have also read reviews that state there is plenty of wind noise, it is very common on these cars, and one of the biggest consumer complaints from cars in general.

Also, most people that want this car want the noise, otherwise I can't imagine any of them purchasing an exhaust system or intake for the "added HP" because there simply isn't enough gain to compensate for the added noise. In other words, most people that do these mods want the noise, or they simply believe the added noise = more performance.
