Had a couple of test drives in S3's now (before putting a deposit down on one yesterday, yay, go me ) and one of the things i've been impressed by his how quiet the car is when on the move.
In comparison I hired a new BMW 3 series recently which i found really quite noisy at motorway speeds, lots of tyre roar basically which surprised me as I thought it would be much more refined. Kind of put me off the m140 a bit as i'm guessing that's probably going to be even more noisy, given the 3 series is supposed to be above it in the model range.
Anyway I found this interesting article:
"in search of the worlds quietest car"

The A3 does really well in the test, beating both the golf and the 1 Series. Anyone else noticed better refinement in comparison to other rival cars?
