A lot of people seem to conflate lightweight with cheap/economy. The 86 platform has higher NVH than say a Camry because they were trying to hit weight targets, not because they were trying to cut costs. The increased NVH is a byproduct of that. It’s like saying an Exige or S2000 are cheap sports cars since they have so much NVH. On any of these cars, the manufacturer could have added sound deadening and used thicker/denser materials, but at the expense of weight.
