Well picked up my 2018 ES last month with the DCT and somewhat regretting it for one thing, the ride.
When I test drove it, I went with the salesman and my girl, ride wasn't bad at all. I then took it for a 2nd spin and didn't really notice the ride either.
The first week of driving it to work it's a bit firm to me. Seems like it will jolt over every little bump in the road. Kicker is the bigger bumps it handles well, but just every little imperfection just jolts you.
My last car was a Mazdaspeed 3 which I thought rode good for a sporty car. This is a bit unbearable. I am still giving it time though. I have noticed when I have a passenger it rides better, which makes sense with the weight.
Every other part of the car is great though, obviously the handling is good and the power is good for the price I paid. I just hope I can get over the ride quality. If not it will turn into a financial loss which I'm not ok with, but gotta be happy I suppose.
Anyone else feel the same way? Besides the fact that it's a sport and it's supposed to be firm
Plenty of sports cars I have driven and owned prior to this were not this bad unless I lowered it which I haven't done for years.
