Hi.Consumer Reports listed "road noise" as one of the "cons" about the 2006Civic (even though they gave it their highest overall rating). Can anyanyone out there share their first hand experiences? I am interested inthis car, but I do want a quiet car. Thanks.

The car CR reported on may of had performance tires. They tend to howl abit.They are a harder rubber. Inquire as to what tires on the vehicle youare interested in. H

I have an 06 Civic LX and an 04 odyssey exl....

believe it or not the Civic is quieter than the Odyssey by a lot. That said, the Odyssey has always been kind of noisy. I have a Suburban too and it is MUCH quieter than either Honda. So it depends on your tolerance.
