I'm researching, looking to buy in the fall. Forte is at the top of my list although I'll probably wait for the hatch since it will suit my needs better. Anyway, I'm looking at the road tests on Edmunds and I find this:
2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 66.9
2010 Buick LaCrosse
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 68.1
2010 Ford Taurus Limited
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 68.0
2009 Jaguar XF
Db @ 70 mph Cruise: 67.8
2008 BMW 550i
Db @ 70 mph Cruise: 65.4
2011 Hyundai Sonata
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 67.2
2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 56.7
2010 Kia Forte SX
Db @ 70 mph Cruise 60.3
Only one quieter is the Porsche that costs $147,670.
Is this a misprint? I've read a lot of comments that the Forte is quiet, but that is usually in comparison to Mazda 3, etc
So what's your opinion?
