      Super interested, yet worst time ever. I'm as short on cash as one can be before bankruptcy...
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      Re: Kill Road Noise DEAD

      the only time the road noise really bothers me is when its kicking snow into the rear wheel wells. other than that, you can hear it i guess, but it still sounds about the same as most of the neons, pt cruisers, cavaliers and other cheap rentals i have had.

      its not as quiet as higher line cars, even some of the hondas, vw, and such. But i bought it because it was more like a "go cart" which make the car fun with its slower speeds and performance.. if that makes sense.

      Re: Kill Road Noise DEAD

      I already have an appt to get it applied. I dont even know how much it costs...I think like $90/gallon. But it doesnt matter. I f***ing hate road noise. So it is worth it. I am also going to be getting some DP, LLP & HWP. Hopefully by my B-day in may I will have the AV system finished.

      Also looking at beefing up the engine to carry the extra added weight.

      Personally I like to hear the road and the purr of the engine. Otherwise I feel disconnected from the road. I like to feel the road, too, and I think the Aveo's suspension is too soft. Whatever makes it feel more like a little go-kart, I like.
