I just had my first flight on an A320 and I was pleasantly surprised. It was much quieter and smoother than any 737 or 757 that I've ever been on.

Funny, my experience has been exactly opposite yours. The nose gear shimmy on both of the America West Airbusts scared the crap out of my wife.

I was on a TED (United) A320 and I was amazed at the lack of engine noise, especially the lack of that annoying buzzing noise that I here in a lot of other aircraft. Both landings were amazingly smooth and soft, though this may have been due to the pilots. I didn't notice any nose gear shimmy. Also, the overhead racks were much roomier.
