    It is worth the difference if you installed it properly. Not just in making things quieter but cutting way down on resonance.

    Ford has had pretty good sound deadening for a long while. My Thunderbird was like a vault for a car that stickered for around $24K new in 1994. I know they are stepping up the game because the Five Hundred, when new, before it was rebadged the Taurus, got higher sound isolation ratings that every other car company but Lexus and even then they were only a couple points behind with it. Go test drive a new Taurus and see for yourself. That is a very well executed piece of automotive engineering and it can be had for around $22K nicely appointed.



    its a ford though.

    Why do people outside your car have to hear what you are listening to inside the car?
    I had a convertible rental and was driving down the road and kept hearing this BLARING annoying **** sounding music and couldn't figure out whose car it was coming from and come to find out it was from some **** moron in a Grand Cherokee that had a speaker mounted behind his grill so everyone could hear what he was listening to inside his sealed up car........**** idiot...........i had 30 miles with that tard all around me.....

    I had a Taurus rental for a week and a half and I did like that car. I could squeal all 4 tires which was fun. THe only things I didn't like were the drivers seat couldn't go lower (it seems to sit high), and there's a LOT of crap around you to where you feel like you're in a smaller car than you should with that thing being as big as it is......but overall, that thing was fun to drive.

    Yeah, I felt like I was driving a truck too but being a fairly smaller individual, it was extremely spacious for me. But what impressed me the most was the back seat. I could sit back and my head was not under the rear window like alot of Japanese cars out now. Also, I had a good 8 inches of head room and even with my feet squarely planted on the floor, my toes were not under the front seat. I had about 10 inches of space from my knees to the back of the front seat.

    If I was in the market for a family car, I would not hesitate to plunk down 20 large on that car...and then promptly rip the stereo out and put my own junk in!
