I have had the car for almost 2 weeks, and I think the road noise on this car is a little much. My 1998 GTI is so quiet on the road compared to this car(and that isn't a quiet car by any means). It is ok on smooth asphalt roads, but there aren't many around here. The roads here are crap, but still this is the only car I've had where the road noise is not to my liking. The expansion joints/strips on the highway is damn near ridiculous....where I don't even feel/hear them in my other car.
I've got the Bridgestone Potenza RE050's filled to 38 psi on my 18"s. I am hoping this is just a noisy tire. But, at least I am not the only one who feels there is too much road noise.
Im experiencing the same. There is too much road noise in this car and it is much more then i am used too. Personally, I think the mkv is the loudest road noise car i've been in.
