I have available a factory-optional sound deadening pad that sits on the
engine deck to reduce engine noise further. This was originally a $500
option in Germany (never offered in the U.S.).  It can go under your
mattress if you have one, but it is carpeted on one side in case you
want to use it by itself. It can be snapped into place (matching snap
recepticles can be found at Walmart) or just placed on the rear deck.
This add-on will be particularly appreciated by rear passengers!  Price
is $199.
