Sometimes I find myself turning down the radio when it's OFF. The engine is a bit noisy when driving compared to other vehicles. I agree, 6 would be the rating out of 10 (0 quiet, 10 loud).

A number of experienced mechanics and those workshops here locally working with toyota engines will tell you to do an oil change, it works wonders on this tiny 1.5 vvti =D

I would agree it is quiet.

I did not do any additional sound proofing.

But with simolta SRI, and fujitsubo wagolis muffler. The idling is very quiet.

Even cruising at 100km/h @ 3k rpm is fine too.

So i suppose a stock yaris is pretty quiet - for a bread/butter car.

So much better than my previous Aveo (1.4 etec engine).
