Quietest Automatic Matrix?
It seems that with the 2.4, you shouldn't have to rev as much as the 1.8 because of more torque and the 5th gear for the highway so you should hear less engine noise.
However, with the 2.4, you get noisy low profile tires that could bring annoyingly loud road noise on a coarse concrete freeway at 70 MPH.
I would want the quietest, most comfortable daily driver for a 1 hour each way commute, plus occasional long distance weekend trips.
Which will be the quietest riding around town and at highway speeds?
Is the 2009 Matrix much nosier than a Corolla XLE?
I would be more inclined to get the Corolla XLE because I know it's quiet based on all the reviews, but the extra cargo room of a Matrix could come in handy.
