Low road noise in Yaris? - Toyota Yaris Forums

This is definitely arbitrary. I find the interior of the Yaris extremely noisy from road noise.

well, it has less road noise than your celica did, and i think its a little better than the other subcompacts. its all relative. i never considered it quiet, but acceptable for a cheap car. the hatchback will have a little more road noise than the sedan, but that is the nature of hatchbacks.

Now I'm running 52psi, but it's quieter inside as I drive below 90 km/h at all times. With my current driving style I find the Yaris has acceptable levels of road noise for me. The real road noise imo opinion is when you go over 100 km/h and when I did that last I was running at 32-35psi. It was a major point even for my wife when we test drove the hatch and sedans and was one of the reasons we chose a sedan since we do a lot of hwy driving. The last couple of Yaris car rentals were also at placard psi and very loud at or over 100 km/h imo, especially the hatch.

Yeah, the sedan and liftback are different cars.

The Yaris is great sound wise....I can hear just enough to keep in touch w/ road/driving conditions and the engine's workings. Too much quiet isn't good...the Yaris is just right.

Makes since. Go by the placard psi ratings that Toyota gives you and you'll have more rubber between you and the pavement. The rubberized undercoating treatments I did probably made up the difference in running more psi to get less road noise.

So one post you said the Yaris has too much road noise and now you're saying it doesn't???
