Wind Noise?

[ganstar]

I've just got a Comfortline DSG Sunset Red, and last weekend took it on a freeway doing 100. I was suprised at the amount of wind noise. Driving today up to 70kmh it was also present, though nowhere near as bad. My 10 year old 3 had no wind noise. Anyone else notice excessive wind noise?

Wind noise as in the car cutting through the wind or wind noise from having the windows open?

[ganstar]

Windows are closed. It's as if the windows have not sealed properly, that is the best way i can describe it.

Ours has a bit of that also when it's quite gusty outside. I keep thinking that the windows are not closed all the way. Unfortunately it's probably an inherent part of the design of the car...

That's really a bit crap, my 10 year old Mazda3 has none!

Can't say I've noticed this problem on mine and i commute 100-110kph freeways for an hour to and from work. Might be worth popping back to your local dealer see what they can do?

Do you have roof racks?

[Guest001]

Or weather shields

[ganstar]

Has neither racks nor shields.

Mines remarkably quiet. No wind noise, even in blustery conditions.
And it would be hard to know how much wind noise a Mazda3 makes as it would be drowned out by that horrible road noise that Mazda can't seem to get on top of.

One of thr things I love about my golf7 is how quiet it is at 110. I would be asking for a solution.

I just read this today in a first drive review: Drive - 2013 Volkswagen Golf Review

"The more time you spend behind the wheel, the more you notice that it's slightly quieter than before - except for some wind noise coming from the window frame of two of the three cars sampled in Sardinia this week.This will likely be fixed on production models by the time the car reaches our shores."

The dealer should agree a new Golf should be serene to drive at speed. Hopefully they don't give you the run around.

They are noisy.

I had one as a loan car when my Caddy had its 30,000 km service, and it was noiser than my Caddy Maxi Life.

I mentioned it when I took it back and they said it was "normal".

No way... mine is quieter than my sister's Lexus IS250 & my brother's new Accord Euro. And wind noise is non-existent. There was a big improvement going from a mk5 to a mk6 and that has happened again.
