IS 200/300 ride comfort?

[Chris Skelton]

I'm about to sell my Smart Forfour (07 model) for no other reason but its hard ride.

How is the ride of the IS? I'm not expecting an LS 400 equivalent but, with the state of our roads, I'm thinking of a Xsara Picasso, just for the comfort.

I don't need an LS size car now, or Messi would have a customer (Sale page!)

I'd guess that the ISs ride much harder than LSs' given their sportier image?

Any observations welcome (not about Picasso's!)

Standard Is300 is a tad to soft for me , after all, it does say Sport on the rear windows, but it handles like a boat around country lanes, so had H&R springs fitted which lowered a couple of inches, and improved the ride/handling. So yes a standard IS is a 'soft' ride.

The IS definitely isn't that soft.

Our is300h F Sport was hard and miles away from a Citroen, our old XM just floated.
