No unusual sounds or noises in my new PTC, yet. I did have it under-coated (DC calls it "sound shield") which is supposed to cut down on noise. The car seems solid and well made. I am pleased with the overall build-quality. But, it does seem like DC left out a number of small but very useful features in the 2003 model, some of which couldn't have saved them that much money. However, guess we should be happy DC finally came out with the more powerful turbo engine.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
