Some early 08' model still have the wind noise............... did you test drive the 08' green?

Default 2008 Would Be My Choice

The 2008 would be my choice as it had fewer issues like the wind noise and TSBs like the valve springs and fuel piping. The 2008 also had the laminated 2-ply side windows that helped with the wind noise.

Go for the 2008. The 07 came to market half baked! Major and serious issues like hesitation on acceleration have had to be addressed with TSBs.
