Have a CL9 Luxury with the 17" rims and RE003 tyres but the wife doesn't like how it handles. I love it, but it's her ride...

The objective is to give it a softer ride, and not feel every painted line on the road.

How do the base models go? I'm considering downgrading the spec and keeping the car or else we'll have to get rid of it.

Cheers!
