The most rattle-less car you've known

meruyailir · 01-25-2007, 07:00 AM

I'm particularly very sensitive on rattle and interior noises. I'm not too satisfied with e90 in this department. So I was just wondering what car or which manufacturer produces the quiet-est car? Quiet as in no rattle, not necessarily road noise insulation. The next time I buy a car, I might take this into account.

Just get something with a very posh suspension. Any luxury car with a soft suspension will be rattle free.

My A8 was dead quiet, but it was also stone boring to drive.

The most obvious choice is the WRX STi or a Toyota Sienna
take your pick

I have had about 7 chrysler 300 rentals, all rattle free.

Also driven around 7 2006 E-class Mercedes-Benz... also all rattle free.

My BMW E46 was rattle city.

^ word......E-class is the quietest!

Bentley or Rolls

Mine.

As well as the previous 325 I owned, and followed by the A4 before that.

After six months however (one year max) they all have some little rattle bcs the streets in Montreal and Quebec are pothole, frost-heave, highway bridges separation lines capitals of the entire Western world

(and bcs I have had sports package on all my Bimmers which makes them shake and bake more than others

)

I got to drive an S4 for 8 months (2005.5), that thing was very quiet inside, a very solid car in terms of build quality.
