I felt the same way about the ride and noise. Being an old guy myself I found the car to be overly "twitchy", noisey and it rode as if it had wooden tires. The first thing I did this year was put on a set of Michelin AS +. The difference is night and day. I don't drive her that hard so do not notice any performance difference, but the ride is about 50% quieter, it's smooth as glass, and I don't need to fear road imperfections or expansion joints anymore. Now I'd probably get another....last year I would not have.
