A summary of the study can be found here: https://www.bksv.com/en/about/waves/WavesArticles/2014/in-search-of-the-w= orlds-quitest-car While it does not precisely answer Gaston's question, it does, at least,=20 give some pointers to those interested in such studies. In any case, it=20 makes for very interesting reading.
