the 3dr liftback will do the same thing if only one of the windows is down all or most of the way. Crack another window and it will stop. My mom's old '81 Corolla sedan would do the same thing.

Yeh, every car does this effect. You need to slightly open another window up to eliminate the effect.

Exactly... all cars I've ever driven in do this. Having just the back windows open creates a vacuum in the front.

really? i guess it depends on the car. my audi had bad buffeting but it went away with weathertechs installed.
