Noise - I actually prefer the quiter ride, this car has just enough.

Steering - do you have the variable steering? I find that it does feel nicely tight at higher speeds and quick/easy at lower speeds. I do not have the sport susp and thus more body roll than yourself (regardless of drive setting) but the variable steering still seems to offer nice control/response.
I do not have the variable steering. I'm getting used to it though... I just came from a car that had much tighter steering than this on Comfort Mode.

My car is Melbourne Red... I just HAD to have it with the black interior & red stitching. I got the leather seats cause they are supposed to breathe a little better than the leatherette, but it definitely takes longer than I would want to cool down the cabin if it was parked in the sun.
