Replying to: ziana (Oct 21, 2006 6:44 pm) A couple of days after taking delivery of our Entourage I noticed that the exhaust was a bit loud in the cabin. However, it has become much less noticeable. Not sure if we are use to it or what. My wife drives it everyday and has not mentioned it.

Replying to: ziana (Oct 21, 2006 6:44 pm) I did test drive on the Kia Sedona and heard the same exhaust note you describe. It was clearly supposed to be that way to give a sporty sound on acceleration. Maybe you view it as intrusive, but Hyundai (parent of Kia) intended it to be sporty. Once under way and after you lift out of the throttle it goes away. I found the Kia to be a rather quiet cruiser and did not find the exhaust note on acceleration to be that offensive.

Replying to: ziana (Oct 21, 2006 6:44 pm) Thanks for the replies! Well I am glad to hear that the salesman wasn't yanking our chain. I guess we could get used to the sporty noise. I think we heard it, then tried to ignore it, which just made it even more noticable. Other than the exhaust, we found the cabin to be incredibly quiet and comfortable. We need a minivan, and the Entourage is definitely our top choice (safety and price). I wish the mpg was better, but I wish that were the case on every vehicle.

Replying to: ziana (Oct 28, 2006 7:43 am) Probably due to active noise cancellation. Most high end vehicles use it. RG
