Hi David,
This is my first SUV and my last car which I owned for the previous 6 years, was a GOLF GT with lowered suspension and fairly low profile tyres. So I may not be the best person to judge, but I have no issue at all with the suspension/ride quality on these larger wheels. The seats are firmer than I’m used to, but still comfortable.
I probably looked like a drunk driver in my Golf. We have lots of potholes and I had to be constantly swerving to avoid them. This car handles them excellently.
