Is the 2nd generation Acura RSX truly quieter than the 1st?

Question

I read somewhere that the engineers intended the 2005 & 2006 models to be quieter on the road than the earlier models. Does anyone know about this or have personal experience?

Any other personal thoughts about whether I should focus on the earlier or later generations will be appreciated!

Answer 1

one person's noise is another's great car sound...so drive the cars you want and see for yourself...

Answer 2

Don't really know. I never really paid attention to road noise since I always ride with my windows down anyways. If I was you I'd just buy whatever is cheap and then dynomat it if it was too loud.

Actually I just found all of the 05 changes on wikipedia, check it
