Yeah, I meant dynamating the entire interior. I never did it, but I think it's the only way to go on a hatch-type car if you really want to cut down on road noise. And even then you might need more than dynamat. Dynamat adds weight to interior panels to help prevent resonance, but doesn't really do all that much to absorb the transfer of sound. You might need something heavier overtop of the dynamat like Second Skin's "Luxury Liner."

I think the best thing to do is just put the windows down, get an exhaust, or turn up your music and just enjoy the drive.
