#34 of 36 Re: wind noise [eric51] by ofionnachta Aug 30, 2009 (8:59 am)
Replying to: eric51 (Sep 05, 2008 10:45 am) Our first Dodge Caravan made incredible wind noise if we drove over anour 40 & it was raining or the weather was even damp, much less raining. If heavy rain, it screamed like harpies. That's what we called it, the Harpies.   We just put up with it. It didn't happen all the time, only for rain. The next one was from the next generation, no noise.   I think with the Rondo, they did not test for wind noise. Maybe next time, they will Replies to this message: garnermike (Aug 30, 2009 9:48 am)
#35 of 36 Of course they test for wind noise! by garnermike Aug 30, 2009 (9:48 am)
Replying to: ofionnachta (Aug 30, 2009 8:59 am) All car companies do. It's what their engineers find as acceptable that matters.   Sorry, but my '07 LX is as quiet a car as I have ever owned (and many of those were new ones). If there is a strong crosswind while driving at highway speeds, some wind noise occurs, but not enough to drive one to distraction.   IMHO, for a $16K car, the Rondo is smooth, quiet and relatively refined. Just turned 21K miles, and yesterday remarked to my bride that the car is the very best investment in a car I've made...ever! Averaging 26 all-purpose mpg now; it fits my band gear; and never back to the dealer for any reason, over 2 years.

Maybe Kia has hard of hearing engineers! : -- )   As long as it hasn't got harpies, I wouldn't mind. I am more concerned about the darn headrest that bops me right at the part of my head that sticks out farthest.
