I just purchased a new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L 4 cylinder. I have been reading customer reviews on different web sites. The most complaint is the road noise and un comfortable seats. I do hear some road noise in mine, but nothing to get excited about. Just wanted some in put on others Honda owners on this issue.

 

There's some personal preferences going on here, too. If you want the car to be like your living room, that's one thing. I think hearing & feeling the actual road is part of the driving experience. My other vehicle is a bicycle. But some people feel that the real world must be suppressed.

Before you let the customer reviews run your life, you have to consider which things are a priority for YOU and which ones you feel differently.
