Sure enough, wind- and road noise are really well contained. The smaller petrol engines ruin things, though, because they sound harsh when you rev them.
I sat in one today in the dealership and they are certainly great for the price though. I'm tempted too.

Shame, as it shouldnt be hard to make a 4 pot sound good - I've heard plenty of motorsport 4 cylinder exhausts that sound good.
Lack of grunt is a given, I'm hoping the amg kit makes it handle ok - in the same way a mini one handles well, but with no grunt. We'll see....
I'm treating this more as an extended hire car - £10 a day!
