Default How noisey is your car on the highway?

Any speeds over 55mph and it sounds like the glass panel isn't closed all of the way. Like the glass panel is not getting a good seal with the gasket and you get air leaking in + horrible wind noise.

It has gotten worse over the last 3-4 weeks, like the panel isn't closing tightly. Is there anywhere for the dealer to adjust how tight the panel closes?

My girlfriend's Tc is quiet as can be, no noise at all. We also don't have any of the noise people have from the roof when going over speed bumps either.

its just a matter of getting used to it. the reason why your hearing all these things cause its a new car. i was the same way when i got my current car, after awhile it becomes 2nd nature the wind noise.

No real noise in mine, either. The engine starts purring audibly around 70mph, but that's no big deal. It's still a lot quieter than my wife's Corolla.

Past 75 mph its sounds like the sunroof doesn't have a tight seal. Its a flapping type sound. I'm going to take my car into the dealer because it is a problem that shouldn't be their.

no roof noise even at 105 MPH, the engine is so quite that I had no idea I was driving over 100. (i have auto, 100MPH is a little bit pass 4k rpm) most noise is road noise, on smooth road, the car is very quite, get to have somthing to do with the tires. but overall the noise level is far superior than the same price corolla/civic.

I dont really have much noise either. I think I remember reading something about windshield seals being loose or something along those lines. You might want to take your car into the dealership and have a tech ride along.

I was searching the forums and this is a thread I found. It looks like its the sealing not being on properly. After checking my car I think thats what it is too. I hope to take it in to the dealer friday.
