I am curious about how noisy the ride might be. I figured to get the carpet in order to have some noise-dampening. Does anyone have any idea of how noisy it is likely to be? and if that noise if from the road or from parts of the Elio itself (engine, etc)?

Thanks,

Last June when the P4 was here in OKC, several of us were asking questions of the Elio keepers, and the topic of noise came up... One staffer said because of the molded body panels - thicker than metal panels - there is less of a drum effect, and with the outboard wheels isolating tire noise - and the aerodynamic shape reducing wind noise at speed the Elio should be quieter than most small cars.
