I will see if I go and testdrive a Civic at a car dealer to see if there is any difference in road noise.

I just wish I would have the money to buy a Lexus. I test drive a RX300 a few years ago and it was so quiet But then the price difference is another too compared to the Civic
When you check that they did the wheel arches, make sure that the suspension mount turret tops have also been done. A lot of sound can be transfered through the top mounts and into the chassis. (Both front and rear need covering. Two layers would be best at these points).
