Perfect example here of how much harm the press can do.
When I went to test drive a Z, I had some pre-conceived notions based on what the magazines had said about the car. One of those ideas had to do with the road noise.
It's certainly not quiet, but it's also nowhere near as bad as the magazine writers make it out to be.

Why even buy Consumer Reports?
