Glad I didn't go hard

Heated seats are standard on the touring trim...

Also, the roadster might exhibit different frequencies of interior noise, but instrumented tests suggest the roadster is louder inside than the coupe.

Car & Driver tested the coupe at 72 dB @ 70 mph and the roadster at 74 dB @ 70 mph*.

*Insert requisite caveat about different road surfaces and decibel measurement issues

Thought so also but this one is listed as touring and it is as base as you can get. I think its mislabeled because it has rays, which would be sport, not touring

Dealership shenanigans? Never!

2 db is very minimal difference. What I notice is the hollow sound coming from the trunk. Kinda like if you sit in front of a barrel. I can hear a car tires coming up from behind before they get close. Its just an echo. I bet if it had the cargo cover installed it would seem quieter.
Definitely not bashing the hard top. I actually like the look better than the soft when the tops up, but they dropped the top and I was sold..

You're right on both counts, although the average person can detect volume changes down to 1 dB increments. The open trunk area seems to be the main noise culprit in the coupe.
