If I truly wanted to know the answer to this, I would go to someplace
like the Consumers Report website and look at the road test data. That
would take the subjectivity out of the "mine is better than yours" a
dealer or salesguy would have.

I just looked it up on their website (I subscribe) and noted Accord
and Camry (both 4 cyl) scored the same, with no difference in the Trim
lines. The both hit the "better than average" (number 4 out of 5)in
the Noise category. What ever that means. It would have been better if
there was a decibel level number for the same road surface, but that
isn't what they did.

My 2003 Element only got 3 our of five, and I can tell you I consider
it a Noisy ride, depending on the road. Blacktop is OK, but concrete
is LOUD!

Fweem on.
