Interesting - I don't have any significant wind noise until the wind passing over the car is >90 mph, meaning very rarely. That said, road noise on rough/textured pavement is my single biggest dislike about my car. On asphalt it's super-quiet, but on concrete or aggregate, notsomuch.

Seats are such a personal thing - it's all but impossible to predict whether someone will find a specific seat comfortable or not. The Model 3's seats are more comfortable to me than the (much prettier, quilted leather, even with adjustable thigh support) seats in my former Audi S6.

I guess compared to a previous-generation M3 the suspension might feel soft, but the flip side is that the ride quality is far better. Tradeoffs. Seems to strike a good compromise for a street car, IMHO.
