I don't think it is how loud the car is, it is the type of sound. I think the car is quiet compared to my NSX or my MR-2, epecially on the highway, but the fact that you can hear every piece of gravel fly up and hit inside the tire wells bothers me. Of course, may be I couldn't hear gravel over the engine of the other cars
I think the steering wheel is helpful for the driver to get out, but my wife misses the passenger grab handle the NSX had when we go around corners
