MK7 Zetec S Suspension/Ride Question

Hey FOC

I'm still looking to get a MK7 Zetec S next Month :)

However, I'm still without a test drive but I'm curious to how the stiffer suspension effects the Ride on the ZS.

I'm driving a Saxo 1.1 at the moment, its been a brilliant first car however other than a Diesel Vivaro I drive for work, I haven't got a huge ball park to compare rides.

So Id love to hear your views on the Zetec S's ride with the stiffer suspension.

Living in Cornwall, the last thing I want is to have my car jumping and bouncing at every small imperfection on the road.

Thanks for reading

    I have a Zetec-S and I think it's really comfortable, the sports seats are great aswell. Coming from a mk2 punto with a very un-sporty ride I don't find it any worse than that; obviously it's abit firmer but it's hardly bone shaking.

    Ride is fine, and as Fraser has said, the seats are very good and supportive
