I have the S Automatic. The enginge would buzz before changings gears and then drones out .The engine is VERY quiet when you first get it...But I need everyones help on this...I think I might be freaking out. But when I first got the car I din't hear any engine noise or feel the engine running when idling. But now that I have put about 3,000 miles on it, i can hear the engine when it's idling and somewhat feel a slight rumble. ALSO, I no longer hear that "buzz" noise when I'm accelerating...Anyone have this same problem??? Would the dealer fix or check for free?

hey me too! i just noticed this yesterday. this car used to idle at a whisper and now i can hear the rocker arms tapping and the the car does vibrate in-synch with them. hopefully the dealer will be willing to listen.

Ok. about the buzzing, I was wrong, It's still there...I like the buzz noise...But yea...about hearing the engine, it's still there...I guess it's "broken in" But I can't wait till my first oil change. maybe it will sound and run different..ill let you know in a few weeks..I need about 700 miles more to go.

If you are able to find it, try Lucas oil when you change your oil. It's a thick, synthetic oil additive that helps to give extra protection to your engine. You subsitute a certain amount of regular oil with the Lucas. My old car had a noisy valve train. I used Lucas Oil and it became whisper quiet. When I didn't use it, it went back to noisy.
