Nice drive; I think this is the guy who cracked the foam backing on the engine cover carpeting - he even mentions it.
Like the exhaust sound; doesn't remind me of a runaway lawn trimmer like some small cars. Seemed to merge onto the Interstate with no problems (except for almost cutting off the white car in front) and pretty reasonable interior noise level. We'll know more about all this once one of the car magazines does a complete road test but it looks promising at this point.
