That being said, road noise is there and will only get worse with time. You should do a lengthy test drive and go home to think about it. Don't buy it right after test driving it.
That's good advice. Road and engine noise aren't necessarily an issue, they go along with owning a sports car and add to the experience. Having owned a number of "high strung" sporty vehicles ('86 MR2, '98 Prelude SH, '02 WRX) prior to my C55, I've learned an appreciation for having a car that's not "always on". Real world driving isn't always a nice windy road & some modicum of tractability & comfort would be nice when stting in traffic on the Bay Bridge every day. (Maybe I'm just getting old.)

Test drives are nice, but not as useful as the experience of those driving the car day in and day out. And no, I'm not interested in the G37S, it's too soft, just want to make sure I'm not going to go completely mad.

Thanks to those that replied. Sounds like I'll be good.
