didnt test the brakes, It didnt seem to be any louder than other sports cars that Ive had... I drove on rough city streets and on the freeway with the radio off and It did not seem excessively loud... C & D shows that the interior noise with the sport pkg is the same or lower than the RX8 which i owned for three years and I never felt that it was loud. I also never drive without the music, usually relatively loud! I now drive a TL with a very similar tire setup as the sport package z (245/35/19 and 275/30/19) and when i went back to my car it didnt seem considerably quieter.. I think that it seems louder because of the hatchback, as opposed to a trunk that is more isolated?!.. just my impression, maybe its more noticeable when the new car excitement wears off.
