What to Love (And Hate) About a Mk6 GTI 2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member6348 This car isn't a coffin. At highway speeds things can get a little noisy, especially if you have a sunroof. The engine turns at about 3000 on the highway, and while it's not bad sounding, it's definately noticable. Tyre noise can become appaling as the car seems to wear tyres... |

2015 Subaru WRX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The new Subaru WRX is quieter than earlier ones. Wind noise is fairly low, road noise is moderate, and the exhaust drones only at low rpm, so even long distances on the highway shouldn't prove tiring. The GTI and Focus are both quieter inside, though. Comparison vehicle: 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI |

One of the best to drive, but not to ride 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons TedK Going at 200 kph / 130 mph, I still had to turn the radio down from 5 to 3 to really hear the engine noise. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5697 This is a very minor issue, but in the winter the engine warms up slowly and is noticeably noisier until it warms up. If I could keep it in a garage this would not be an issue. Comparison vehicle: 2010 Subaru Legacy |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member1664 No car this small has the right to be this quiet and feel so much larger acoustically than the Golf. I totally mean this as a compliment. Coarse road surfaces bring out expected tire roar, but it does the same in cars known to be quiet performers too. ... |

2013 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member3466 At highway speeds, the Golf TDI was actually quieter than the Honda, despite the fact that it is a diesel. It is a very impressive and quiet highway cruiser. |
|
2003 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member5281 At least in 2003, road noise is more noticeable than modern cars. I can't tell if it's comparable to others in its range, but it bothers me now that I've driven more recent vehicles. |

2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS Very little road and wind noise. |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS Much quieter on the inside than the C30.Lack of tire roar and wind noise are major pluses. |
|
2011 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Pros and Cons DarronS The interior is much quieter than the Mini Cooper S Countryman. The Gold replaced a 2007 Volvo V50, which had terrible road noise on some surfaces. |

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4383 Rattles in the B-pillars on both sides of the car and wind noise at speed through the door seals. |
|
2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member4272 Such a quiet ride for an entry level hatch. |

2006 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Pros and Cons Member2827 The diesel engine is loud, seems to be less refined than a lot of european diesels. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member2758 There is quite a lot of road noise transmitted through the body to the interior. Granted, much can be attributed to the summer tires and the worn concrete paving in this area. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member2730 Hey, engine noise is deliberately piped into the cabin. On my car, this little "feature" would cause an annoying buzz at a certain rpm, so I disconnected the pipe. |

2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States Nothing...the R32 is fairly quiet at a 70mph cruise, given the wheels/tire/suspension setup. "Beautiful noise" is what this car is all about; with exhaust and intake notes so intoxicating I turn the stereo down just to hear it better! RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! |
|
2008 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member204 quieter than a Mazda 3 |

2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Pros and Cons Member995 Cabin can get loud. Helps to shut the sunroof cover. |
