Mine also has virtually no wind noise at any reasonable speeds, so the door seals or window fit when closed could be an issue. Definitely get it checked.

In fact, I'd say that the road noise that I have experienced isn't bad, but it's probably more noticeable simply because there's not much other noise to compete with it (if I leave the stereo off!).

Another factor that strongly influences road noise is the choice of tires. I wonder if the Bridgestones are different from the Michelins in this regard? Mine has the Bridgestones by the luck (or not) of the draw.

Test drove it again tonight, and I think it just might be the type of road.

Gosh...I'm so torn between this or the HAH.

Did you happen to notice what your MPG was at 105MPH

Seriously though, how did the car handle at those speeds? Any vibration or feelings that you were loosing control at any time.

I'm still waiting for my delivery since 07/01. Got an email this week from the sales rep informing me it should arrive in the port of NY the 1st week of August so I should be OK in taking advantage of the Tax Credit.
