It very quiet, smooth, and comfortabe. The only time I ever notice any noise is when pressing down hard on the accelerator. The fan sound of the engine can get a bit louder than I am use to. Besides that, it is very peaceful, with no road noise, or bumps.
For me, it is better than I had expected. It is rated at 28 city, and 30 highway. I have yet to get less than 32 mpg on a tankfull. That is mostly suburb driving near Atlanta. I am not a heavy footed driver though.
Cheap! I mean for all that you get, it is very cheap, without sacrificing quality at all.
