Thanks everyone for the responses! Any opinions as to quietness vs model years? Specifically, the Forester had a redesign in 2009, and the Outback and the Legacy sedan in 2010. Any opinions on whether each of these models are quieter before or after the redesigns? Thanks!

I'm in the market for a new vehicle to replace my 2003 Forester. I have some hearing problems (ringing in my ears [tinnitus], and some hearing loss starting). Wind and road noise really stir things up. I need the quietest vehicle possible... but I'd really like to have AWD, and stick with Subaru if possible. So... what do folks think is the quietest model of recent year Subarus? I would most likely go with a 2008-2012 model, not a 2013 or new one. Thanks! Richard in Colorado
