Yes. It's such a weird sound from the outside, but on the inside it's not too intrusive. It's annoying when people don't hear you and they continue to walk right in the middle of your path in parking lots.

But, the Leaf has a little meep meep horn, so if you have to honk it's not too in your face MOVE! NOW! It's more like a please move, you're in my way.

There it is! lol.

if you start at the beginning you can hear it in stock form. I much prefer the new form though lol.

I've had people ask if it's a big block. It's a 302 Ford V8

The mic doesn't do it justice, I really wish I had some good audio equipment. It's the old carbed 4.2, not the 4.0. I love the sound of carbureted engines, they're just so much more mechanical, more raw . Here's a video of it running with just headers on:

Don't have a recent video because it was about 4 cell phones ago when it was running but the Sport compact car editors were generous when they said the 4g63 engine note is a great equivalent..

On my dsm the startup routine and sweet spot are about the same...really its general performance hahah
