You have a point on the "it depends what vehicles you are trading up / down from", I've traded up from a Honda Civic Type S GT which at the end of it's time with me it was like driving around in a tool box.
Road noise is definatley present but I'd take that every day of the week over opting for smaller wheels with greater profile tyre.
What did you trade up / down from if you dont mind me asking?.

Hi Beef,
Traded Down from a Volvo S40 T5 SE Sport 2.5l Turbo.
Have to say that it has to be the best
all-rounder car I have ever had.
Unbelievably fast, steady and pin-sharp handling.
All the refinements / mod-cons with all the controls strategically placed for optimum driver ease /comfort.
Should have gone for another, although thought I'd try the RCZ out for three years.
Plus the Volvo Garage local to me weren't too good at Customer Service so wasn't in a rush to go back.
Probably go back to the Audi Garage when the RCZs time is up, Customer Service second to none (although haven't experienced Peugeot Servicing yet).
Best
Driver's car was the VX220 (which a few on here have also had).
Now that was a car that was "minimal" on the inside
Never liked the Honda Civics....reminds me of a VW Beetle for some reason :eusa-think: ......and they all seem to be driven by young, hot chicks - which put me off from driving round in one.
Anyway, each to their own. Life and the world would certainly be dull if we all liked the same thing
