Greetings!

Does anyone know how the road noise of the Sport compares to the Pop?  I would think it would be worse, on account of its wider tires, but is it a significant difference?  I'd rather have the better handling of the Sport and I don't mind a firm ride, but road noise is an irritation I'd like to minimize.

On the other hand, it seems like base model cars are often cheapened in hidden ways - like using less soundproofing.  Has anyone compared the two?
