Impressions after 250 miles
Picked up my White Limited (6MT) this weekend and have already put 250 miles on the car. This car is replacing my 991.2 GTS, as I wanted something that I could actually drive without feeling guilty about putting miles on (or tracking). It's also the hardtop S2000 successor I always wanted as it makes the same amount of power with far better aero, safety, and usability.
Pros:
Cons:

I experienced the same thing regarding road noise. It has gotten better. My other half and I took my 6spd limited to their parents for Christmas.
When I purchased the car it was terrible. But the two front tires were at 40psi through the first 150mi home from the dealer. What pressures are you at? Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk

How does the road noise compare to the first gen, or the s2000? Ive heard this complaint more and more, but wondered how it compares to those two. I DDed both of those before.

I would put this car off the lot as significantly/uncomfortably louder on the stock 18in wheels with Pilot sport 4's compared to the 2016 oem 17in Primacies. That being said in my experience this new car has gone from unacceptable to ok for a road trip but still a little on the loud side. Probably also why the stereo is regarded as lackluster. In my experience with this new car pressures and the first 600mi have had a significant impact on noise. I think this will continue to get better, I also think this is most likely related to the factory Michelins. Also, the rest of the cons were cons with the last generation too. The rear seat is plenty for a pup and a backpack. And as soon as I find a rear trans mount I'll buy one. |

I went from the PS4 summer tires (stock) to to the PS4 A/S and will say the road noise dropped significantly from the summer tires. I’m sure you could find quieter tires still, but the real fix is probably sound dampening material.

Interesting... Michelins in my experience tend to be ok on noise vs say Bridgestones. But it sounds like they get better as they break in, I csnt imsgine this gen being louder than the 1st gen. One of the reasons I sold my ND2 RF was the cabin noise, and the first gen was notably quieter. And the s2k was just straight noisy. |

With the BRZ, I feel like I can distinctly hear every road surface, whereas with the S2000, there was more of a background wind/engine hum. |

C&D 70-mph DB level: 2013 FR-S (with Primacy's): 71 db 2012 Cayman S: 74 db 2022 VW GTI: 74 db 2022 GR86/BRZ (with MPS4): 76 db ND Miata ST: 80 db If you intend to drive it on quiet tiers like the Primacy's or all-seasons, it'll be fine. Not exactly quiet, but way less noisy and less rattly than my friend's stock AP2, for example.

Tire break in and pressure? Also cold weather makes for hard summer rubber? Curious how the tire noise changes in the warm weather.
