Engine Sound at 65mph or Greater
I am considering buying a manual trans Fit. It will be a daily driver...mixed traffic...mostly highway. My concern is at road speed, 65mph, I will hear the engine roar and over time it will make me crazy.
What is your experience in owning the manual tran...noisy or not?

5 sp sport here, 5400 miles in 7 weeks. Several long tips, 350-900 miles each way. Just about all of it driven at 70-90 MPH. Engine noise is fairly quiet at those speeds believe it or not.
What type of vehicle are you used to?

Agree 100% - Right around 80-85 mph is where I start to find it annoying in my MT. Engine noise is not bad at all. Road noise is typcally Honda, that is, a bit more than most of it's competitors.
