Ride comfort and quality opinions
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2021 4:07 pm
Hi all after some advice/opinions - let me explain.....
I recently purchased my first SUV, being a Mokka X 2019 model. I am really struggling to get used to the ride which I find very uncomfortable around town. It is really bumpy and gittery and even the smallest pothole or bump in the road sends a shudder through the cabin! I have had it inspected and suspension, tyre pressure etc is all fine (well tyre pressure was reduced but made little difference).
I have only had it 3 months but I am seriously thinking of cutting my losses and selling it and buy another SUV or reverting back to a decent sized hatchback. The Tucson was a model I was considerin before I purchased the Mokka, but it didn't seem as good value for money on a 'like for like' spec offered (but might be a far better ride though!?) and seemed a bit bulky for around town driving.
What is the drive like on the Tucson (looking at models 2017 upwards automatic)? My concern is that this type of bumpy ride is a character of the SUV and I may just end up with the same issue. If it's not - and the Tucson is worth considering any recommendations on models/trim? I mainly do urban town driving, no more than 5,000 miles per year.
