#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.
