Whistling noise in new Mazda3

[Gwydion]

I test drove a Mazda3 today. I generally liked the car, but there was a wind noise the happened whenever it got up to speed (about 50MPH). Almost like a window was cracked or door wasn't quite shut, but there didn't seem to be anything loose and we couldn't quite pinpoint the source.

Is this a common problem with the model or was there just something wrong with this car?

That's what happens when the car is inherently smiling...it whistles. jk

I'd say try driving another car and seeing if it does the same thing. Low end or high end, a genetic problem will be a genetic problem.*

*unless the part changes throughout the vehicles, then the same model will show the same genetic problems

I get the normal wind noise when I am at highway speeds +++. But nothing like a whistling or anything.

I have a 2010 S sedan and I get the usual highway noise but nothing like a whistle. My guess is something is a bit off on that car.

Happy to report I have heard no whistling of any sorts from my vehicle thus far.

Even the wind-rush is generally subdued relative to what I am used to driving.

Mine whistles, smiles and its now just starting to wink....
