I had a 93 Civic LX sedan and I think the noise level was better in that car. I'm really concidering putting in tons of sound deadening in my sol cause it's unbearable for me. What I hate more than the noise is the chassis flex. It's nowhere near as stiff as the Civic let alone an Integra. If you're used to the integra and want something similar in ride quality and comfort, you may be looking for the wrong car. I don't regret buying this car, I love it to death, but I'm going to do some serious sound deadening when I get the chance and money.
