Same here, its really not a big deal. Unless you drive with windows up, no radio, and go rallying.

I put on bigger wider tires and the noise lessened, go figure. They have less tread cuts so less hum.

I hate to throw this out there... but if I wanted tons of power for the same price range I could get a used 03-04 ViperSRT-10. Its a stick but I used mine as a DD for almost two years and loved every second of it. Its also a little more unique, will retain its resale value since they are bottomed out right now, and it will blow the doors off of just about any other stock car out there (excluding a few exotics). Thats just my .02 and I know i will take a thrashing for bringing it up... but its my honest opinion...

It's not manageable power for a daily driver, and it is physically huge. Plus, the pressing issue of maintenance as Chrysler is on the skids is always present.

Buy It!!

I had the same concern so I got a hold of a guy who writes for one of the car mags (forget which one) and traded 4-5 e-mails with him.

I asked him specifically if he noticed a significant reduction in ride harshness and he said absolutely. He owns a 2003 350Z and said the ride quakity is vastly improved (but still no where like a G37 etc.)

He said it was no problem to use as a daily driver.....get one.........I am!

Sure why not? You'll look zippier than you would in a Solstace or something and not like you're going through a mid-life crisis like all those salt and pepper Corvette owners. All the "kids" who just want to be in a "sport tuner" market will still be stuck in Honduh's because of the price point (or used 350's :eek:) so you'll be a bit more refined than that. Not SO refined that you have to resort to the "salesman's sportscar" like the G series of Infinities. You also won't look like some "swinging ****(head)" in a Viper or some ridiculous car like that.

So yeah.. I think it's a great choice.

I expected this from a young confused teenager.
Your wise enough to determine that on your own!
Go to the dealership and schedule a test drive.
If you like it, go for it.
Might I suggest the yellow or red? :D
