Might be more road noise than my 9th gen civic, definitely more road noise and worse speakers than an 11th gen Si sedan, but of course it's a given that it has less road noise than the Type R.

It's only Day 1/2, but to keep it on relevance with the thread, I don't find enjoyment with the Golf R. It's a very mid experience. I'm gonna try ACC on the way home today so I hope that will be interesting
find a straight stretch, put it in eco, set the ACC and chill. purrs along at 110 sub 2k rpm and i can barely tell it's running. Maybe the tires are loud.

it's still a golf - not sure who's looking for a luxury experience.

i'd have to spend some time around a civic to offer a fit and finish comparison. - i can't think of the last time i was in a japanese car at all besides tacomas.
