Default 370Z is no louder than other compact sports cars?

I am very close to getting a new Z, but I hear alot of stuff about the Z being very loud. I see them on the road, and the exhaust is very overwhelming, like a Pony car's V8?
How does the cabin noise compare to other small/sports cars, like an Eclipse or GTi?

If you are close to buying one don't you think you should test drive one first and make an educated buying decision

I agree, the exhaust is very quiet the inside road noise is there but nothing to worry about. Why don't you test drive a Z and find out for yourself. Instead of listening to other people's negative comments

the 370z exhaust is near silent. it sucks.

i had to order a aftermarket catback exhaust in order to be happy. otherwise it sounds like a nissan altima.

No no, cats are extra points, you're supposed to avoid the dogs.
