The engine noise is nice... but the rest is not. When cruising on the highway at about 70mph, there is a lot of road noise, but not much engine noise.
I do concede that the car had 19" wheels, but didn't check what tires were on it. With 18"s and some quieter tires, the road noise might be minimalized.... but I bet a little more sound deadening material would help, too.
