Although part of me thinks it's the sounds coming from that stupid sound tube that make it sound less smooth and give it an overall impression of being less smooth than it is.

Either way I didn't buy this car for the motor.
I currently drive an E36 M3 and an 07 Honda k24a8
The inline 6 is naturally balanced and has many large main bearing caps.. A very stout heavy expensive motor which can't be compared to 4 cylinders...
The Honda is smooth.. But mostly muted.. Great torque down low.. But not
Happy up top revving.. Also FWD sucks.. But the accord is about commuting and not "feel".. I like feedback and hearing mechanicals at work..
I'm not expecting a Lexus like experience in the FRS.. I don't want one..
