It didn't seem loud to me. Buildings are few and far between and when one sees one, it isn't tall....and there aren't any canyons nearby -- given both, there really isn't anything much for sound to reflect off of. It certainly isn't like a Lexus re quietness (which wouldn't be my cup of tea), but it certainly didn't sound as if it was about to fall apart.

Well, I'm not too worried since all of the Yarii I test drove sound the same when it comes to engine noise.

I'm not talking about exhaust noise, I'm talking about noise from the engine itself that you would hear through the firewall. It's the same noise it makes when it revs over 3k while warming up.
