Totally Agree 20!
People need to rememebr that for 16,600 this car rocks...and the issues with this car are the same as others. I had a new Audi A4 that had fuel leak, raid problems and the front wheel wells collapsed. So a rattle here or there, what is the big deal.

p.s it really is about time someone called these morons out and call them for what they are
I dont think the post was asking for your oppinion of me. I think the point was to see what others thought about the noise level of the vehicle, which is something that all cars are judged by because some people care. If my only concern about the car is its noise level (which is a matter of taste), I am definitely not a whiny b*tch.

No doubt about that. Hard to cruise at that speed with the sunroof cover open because it's so loud.

No doubt about that. Hard to cruise at that speed with the sunroof cover open because it's so loud.
1. Close the sunroof cover.
2. Use the standard CD/AM/FM stereo system or upgrade to the 6CD unit to block out undesireable noise.
3. Do not drive at speeds in excess of 15 mph. This is a sure recipe for noise related to engine speed, wind resistance, or friction from tires against the pavement.
4. Check to make sure your vagina isn't full of sand.
5. Thoroughly wash your vagina regularly to prevent from sand buildup.
Jesus tap-dancing Christ. This is a car. Cars make noise. If you have sensitive ears or heart problems or a family history of high blood pressure, or have an unusually sandy vagina, consider a sedentary existence, teleporting, or investing in a zeppelin as noise-free alternatives to buying a 17,000 dollar car and hearing it operating.

A lot of people who bout the tC have never had a new car before, so they're ultra-picky about everything, as if they were buying a Lexus or BMW... Speaking of which, if you're thinking of a BMW 530i instead:

I test drove several different cars before deciding on the tC, and I can tell you that the tC is the quietest of them all at this price range, by far.
