You will feel and hear none of this in your '15 just as it was not present on my '14. This issue is present solely I believe, on the '17 Mirage CVT's with new programming, redesigned exhaust with no flex joint and stiffer engine mounts.
Since you've owned both a '14 & a '17 what changed in the CVT programming? If I understand correctly the '17's exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter are one piece where in the '14-'15 it was separated by a flexible exhaust connector correct?
