    Subject says it all really....I'm talking about cruising at the 80mph
    speed bracket...is it normal, quiet or very quiet?

    Also for long journeys, are the seats comfortable?

    Thanks in advance.

    Those are our three choices? It reminds me of the fast food places
    where the smallest drinks and fries are "medium."

    FWIW, my del Sol with the D16Z6 SOHC VTEC (125 hp) is certainly not
    "quiet" or "very quiet" at 80 mph. It's turning nearly 4,000 rpm and
    sounds like it. I don't really care, but if you're concerned enough to
    ask about it, you might. I'm not sure exactly which engine you're asking
    about, though. "1.6i" doesn't ring a bell.

    Boy, it's noisy compared to the Corolla.
    I guess so. Yep.

    Excuse what I just said. The Corolla is much more comfortable. The Civic's
    bone solid seats keeps you awake but it's not as comfortable.-IMO
