    Has anyone else experienced excess wind noise at 60 mph and faster? You would thnik a vehicle that has a low drag coefficient would not have wind noise issues.

    I hear a little. Not much. Just like I hear tire noise as well.not too bad. Just kind of there. Maybe it's the vortexes kicking in

    Some, but nothing too bad. If it was a luxury vehicle I'd be upset.

    I agree, if it claimed to be luxury then it'd be a problem. I'd say the C's wind noise is no more then my Honda Fit made. Just turn up your music if it's that bad.

    I don't hear any. I am more likely to hear the cars next to my car, when driving on the highway.

    I had a fusion and the wind noise is about the same. I agree just turn up the radio and enjoy the mpg
