Default Windnoise: Curse of 4:th gen is here to stay!

Well, I got a loaner today, brand new gs300h 2014 (or maybee its called 2015). Just 1000km on gage.

Guess what, same windnoise on drivers side. Mirror folding does help of course as it oies with my GS450h.

I dont think GS is going to be an option for me next time. But i do love the car else wise. Solid build. No major rattles yet as of 30000km.

Been seeing a lot of these windnoise threads but never had an issue with my car. Does everyone have a problem with windnoise?

So let me get this straight the GS is a great driving car and fun to drive, looks good has a great interior and the one thing that turns you away is wind noise, I just find that amazing. I have a problem with wind noise and then it went away but I only heard it when I turned my music down.

I dont disagree. I handle it by ignoring it because I hate loud music. It bugs the hell out of me when neither IS nor RX build has this issue and both are older chasis ( havent driving the new IS).
When you fold the mirror and hear the differance, it bugs me even more:-)

To reduce windnoise, I reduced my intake of Mexican food.

I came from a Subaru STI, and honestly I think the GS pretty much sounds like a recording studio.

To those that are getting this wind noise issue, is it a loud wind whistling sound or what? I can't imagine any production rolling car would ever have 0 wind noise...
