Looking at used and for the owners that have 30k+ miles on their cars, does the car still have that exotic sound like when you bought it or does it quieter? Thanks

Some of us feel the cars actually may get a bit louder after break-in.

The sound is like single malt whisky in a barrel. It gets better with age.
