This most appropriately relates to (non-aero) 99'- 01' wagon owners as the suspension setup is different in 02' and in the aero.
Next time you're on the freeway traveling approximately 60mph, open just the rear windows all the way down. Be sure that the sunroof and the front windows are closed. Please take note of unusual vibrations and/or movement in the headliner.
What prompted this you ask?
In my test drive of the wagon I just purchased (see a few posts down), I performed this very task. The result was that I could barely stand driving it given the strong, rhythmic pressure changes (I think I have sensitive ears for this kind of thing as well). I have alerted the dealer to this and they say it will be looked into during the certification process. The most obvious reason for this that comes to mind is a bent wheel.
So do you experience the same thing? Is it rhythmic in nature?
TIA,
