Peugeot 407 quiet and comfortable?

Taking your recommendation for the 407 coupe as a quiet car, I want to know if the 407 saloon (diesel) is also as quiet?

Presently drive a C2 1.4D on Michelin Energy tyres and I find it very noisy on some surfaces. Do 600+ miles a week with 96% motorway.

By the way, on the site mytyres.co.uk most of the tyres have a usage review and this gives a rating for how quiet the tyre is.
