What did they get wrong?

The doors in my 4th gen sounded the same when I closed them. And, shockingly, they never bent in half or anything. Maybe Toyota was more concerned with the overall design than the sound they make when you close them.

There's always dynamat if it really gets to you.

 

This must be a new thing. I park in some interesting positions, mostly for grins, and haven't had that problem.

 

I can't stand new car technology that beeps and chimes at you for every little thing. Boyfriend's Outback does this and it annoys me to no end. Shut up and let me drive!

 

maybe its part of TSS. Whats ironic is that I kind would like to put my seatbelt on in those situations, but the system prevents it. Too smart for its own good!

 

Yeah, I have an '07 Volvo and those doors sound like a bank vault closing in comparison.

 

Thirty years ago when the first Lexus debuted, it was rumored that the Lexus engineers had closely studied the door latch mechanism of Mercedes sedans in order to mimic the sound, which was, according to focus group testing, associated with high quality by consumers.

 

I keep a gun there or.... Kleenex.
