    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.

    I saw that review too. Went to the workshop yesterday to look at the engine bay rattle and wipers and mentioned the wind noise. They

    'checked all seals, test drove' but there will always be some wind noise according to the service advisor.

    All I can do is report what I experienced.

    Not much wind noise that I can notice but the road noise is obvious.

    that's true. if only they had reduced the amount of road noise, the refinement would be amazing.

    They could do that but then more people would complain that the oem supplied tyres are not grippy enough
