You will get used to it. I have had mine since dec.01 and I rarely hear it anymore. How about the clunk in the transmission when you let of the gas in the manual mode? How about the front doors that will not stay open on a slight uphill grade? Or here is a good one I am having all new leather installed at this time because the dealer used a leather protector that cost me $300. My leather started turning orange... I personally am disappointed with the power and response of this car. There are too many dead spots in this engine. PS did you know that there is no gas peddle cable. This car is a true fly by wire. There is just an electronic sensor and it tells the computer that you want to go faster. Byu the way the noise you hear from the turbos is exaust noise from backpressure when the intake closes. The air is just escaping back through the turbo. Just tell your friends Yaa that`s cool sound isn`t it? Does every one have the same hard push and the second little push on the gas peddle?
