They hated the seats and the rear visibility, but what they marked the car down most severely for was the "tractor engine NVH" (noise, vibration and harshness) which they said was awful. At 5000 RPM's they said the vibration and noise was terrible.
I guess there are so few of these cars on the road that very few people have had a chance to try the car for themselves, but I would love to hear what others have to say.
The 3.7 liter engine is not new, so did this problem also exist with the coupe and/or the 350?

I personally find my 370 to be very smooth up to about 5500 RPM....... that last 2000 is a little noisier, and a little rougher, but it is being blown way out of proportion by Motor Trend in my opinion. Also, as the mileage increases on my car (6500 now), the engine is getting even smoother. It's a sports car
