I love this car! It is so much fun to drive.

I think the auto transmission revs higher and that accounted for the noise I heard in the test drive. The manual seems more quiet if you're driving conservatively.

It's a non-issue at this point.

 

Yeah. For a car in this class, I suppose it's real good. Also, darn thing is silent at idle.

 

I don't really mind the engine noise and I don't really hear it when the musci's turned up. When I get an intake for it, it's gonna scream, lol.
