Default Wind noise

Anyone notice wind noise on the driver side? It’s very noticeable on driver side & driver side rear. I hear it going 65+ mph on the freeway. I took it to the dealership and and the mechanic noticed it also. We test drove another UX model and it sounded the same. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Just the nature of the beast. Cars are required to have giant side view mirrors which are inherently adverse to wind noise mitigation. Very hard to engineer out completely, if not impossible. The way you'd do it is with thick heavy glass, but by the time you do that you end up with an LS. And that's pretty much a you get what you pay for sort of thing.

This.

I came from a LS and the wind and road noise in general is a near night and day difference. Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much, I usually have the windows even cracked when I drive as I enjoy that sort of thing..
