To keep things factual, a Honda Fit is 70.5 at 70 mph. For those who have long commutes, the M2 will be a noisy car.

One of the major complaints of the older Nissan GTR's was road noise, those were between 71-77 decibels (years 2009-2013) at 70 mph and this was one of the noisiest cars around. Major culprit for this was the stock run flat tires. Swap out tires with Michelin PSS and the ride quieted down a lot.

M2 comes stock with the MPSS, so switching tires won't help this issue. Looks like putting sound deadening back in may be the only answer for those seeking a quieter ride.
