Wondering if anyone e has one or has been in one?

I've seen one of these on autotrader (D3 Geartronic) and was wondering what peoplws opinions were? In particular the ride quality.

Mrs Buzz gets a little ill in cars with bumpier rides which normally includes the sportier cars, I currently have a Alfa 159 which has quite a nice smooth ride but am looking to change cars soon. We test trove a BMW 320D M Sport and she found the ride to be too bumpy

Typically its the sports trim cars that generally look the best to me!

So of course I think that the R design trim on the V60 looks really nice too, not going to be able to get to the dealers to look at it till the weekend so thought i'd ask on here

The R-Design isn't as stiff as the BMW M Sport you drove, its more comparable with the likes of the BMW SE spec suspension.

Its hardly soft mind, but then again nothing is these days.

I'm a former V60 R-Design 1.6D driver, any ride issues come from the low profile tyres rather than any sort of 'sporty' suspension.

Thank you for your replies, so it may be a little harder than standard but not the rock solid that the M-Sport felt. just wanted to know if it was worth a trip to see as i don't want to end up with a queasy Mrs again, there may be some hope!
