2008 CTS Ride Quality

[AJC]

I have a 09 CTS with the FE1 suspension. The car feels solid but rides not too hard or too soft. My CTS gives me both ride quality and handling. Before I purchased my CTS I drove the BMW 3 and it drove like a skate board (very stiff) did not like it. I love the heavy solid feel of my CTS. The STS is a bit softer.

I was trying to find a car that would offer a comfy ride, but not be a gas guzzling boat. I have a 5.7 1992 Brougham and you can't beat the cushy ride, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the ride of the CTS. I drove a number of other vehicles in its class and below its class (Mini Clubman, Volvo C30) and I really enjoy the ride. I especially love the mushy steering when making slow turns. Way better than the "pull" and effort required of the FWD cars. I have the FE1 suspension and don't want anything more stiff. I've been over rough roads but I think I hear the bumps more than I feel them. Everyone however is different in their tolerances. I certainly didn't expect it to be as cushy as

Also, PRICE does not denote comfort. Take a ride in a $100,000+ sports care and you'll feel every pebble in the road.

Quit being so dang logical and accurate. I need a place to whine and cheese.

Oh, sorry. Uh... Ferraris aren't comfortable rides because their owners need to learn they can't have everything just because they are rich. If CTSs cost less, they'd be more comfortable.
