They also didn't want to swap my tires from my damaged wheels. I will wear these tires out and go back to Michelin's. What brand tires did the demo have? Also, did it have the sport package? Mine has the sport package and I don't think it's that rough.

Criag I didn't check the equipment list on the demo. You make a good point. If it had the sport package, it would have a firmer suspension, correct? I didn't check out the tires, but will look into both issues next week when I am back at the dealership.

I'm not sure I'm describing the noise at idle correctly. It wasn't a buzzing or a vibration really. It was almost like a droning sound, but only at idle. Once the engine came off idle, it was gone.
