Poll: Are you satisfied with the ride quality?

Hi, I am thinking of getting a sport, but concern about the ride quality. Curious to see how the various trim stock up. If unhappy, please tell us your reasons.

I have a sport and am happy with the ride quality, the car feels like it's on rails on the twisties and is generally quiet. If you're unsure try out all the models on the same roads and see what feels best to you.

I'm thrilled with Ride on my Sport - I'm surprised to see people saying they are unhappy with the ride quality on the sport... can you go into details?

Why don't you just go out and test drive it a few times over different conditions? The ride is stiff. Either it will bother you, or it won't

The ride quality of the sport pack on my car is fine. But the thing i don't like about it is that in my car, it makes all kinds of rattling noises. I can't ride with my windows down without having my radio on. But thats my car, i don't know about anyone else having the same problem.
