The z is pretty quiet inside, lots of tire noise if you have the summer tires and you're on a rough road surface. I'm going to add some soundproofing materials because some tire noises seem to come through the hatch area.
The Bose system really falls short. I'm throwing mine out soon.
I have a 40th, I really love the color combo and the wheels. I'm really surprised by the number of compliments I get on the car, I thought my other rides were more interesting but people seem to love my 40th. I daily drive it, even in the winter.
My wife just bought a new STI, the big difference (for me) is that the Z is quieter and rides much more firm. My Z is obviously much less useful than her hatchback STI.
As for quirks, the only thing that bugs me is the tire noise and the feel of the manual gearbox.
