I'm looking to get a new car, because the road noise on the highway is really pissing me off. I know it sounds dumb, but it's enough for me to consider buying a new car.

How is the TSX or RSX compared to the Civic?

Thanks for any input.

the rsx is about the same, the tsx is just a bigger car it shoulld be quieter, more insilation, but the tl is just amazing!!!

I have an RSX, had a 01 Civic EX, and seriously there is little or no difference in road noise, I've driven a TSX as a loaner and it was better since its a "family" car but not great, my uncle has a TL and you can't hear any noise in that thing.

Acura TL and Toyota Camry, two of the quietest rides I know of...

I think most of the Lexus' I've been in have been very quiet.
Road noise in our Civics?
My mom's Jeep rides more silently than my Civic!!! =(

The quietest car I've ever driven was an 2002 Benz E55. I don't think I'll ever ride anything that can top that. When you close the door you hear a menacing "thump" (compared to our Civic's "clink") that make you feel like your completely sealed off from the outside world.
The only noise you hear (and should hear) is the supercharger whining and the only thing you should feel is your third leg growing from the excitement.

well, if were talking about road noise, my dads bmw is pretty quiet. but if were talking about noise overall, then the bmw isnt the best bet. you can hear the engine pretty well in the car. i love it, but thats just me.

mercedes has a pretty quiet ride also. german taxis are awesome!!! also, lincoln town car is still probably the quietest car ive been in. dont know if limos have special insulation, but those things are like little sound coocoons.

I'm sure you know this, but road noise is due in large part to your choice of tires. Mind you, not entirely obviously but tire choice makes a difference. That being said, Lexus.

Pretty much any of the more recent Mercedes, close the doors and can bairly hear any thing from the out side.

03's Civics and up are fairly quiet compared to 02 and 01's...

I would have to say a Lexus is the quietest ride...

Based on various magazines, I say Lexus LS430 is the quietest car you can buy.

The Audi TT is a quiet car (until you hit turbo)

It's quiet, but not incredibly comfy.
