My wife's tolerance depends upon whether or not she's driving.
If she's driving, she's far more likely to enjoy the sometimes stiff ride, the power, any sound, etc.
For example (a poor example, but an example): I let her drive it for the first time when she got in the boxster after I removed the intake snorkel. Top down.
She commented on how much she enjoyed the growl/purr behind her ear when she gave it some throttle around 2800 rpms.
Now she gets a kick out of it every time, rather than if I had driven the first time she likely would've said "So what, it's just more noise."
