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

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.
