I agree. We have a Prius, and that is one of the things I like about it. When our kids were little, he could pull into our driveway at night, and not wake them up.

I wish all cars were as quiet.

How will the highway patrolman hear you approaching his late night speedtrap?

I agree. I bought a Nissan Rogue earlier this year with a variable (continuous- I forgot the correct terminology) transmission that does not have a shifting feel when it goes to a higher gear. It took a couple of months to get used to it, but it doesn’t bother me now. I figure the noise issue would be roughly the same kind of effect. . . takes some getting used to, but eventually you do.
