Default Passenger experience 2016 GS F

Can 2016 owners comment on passenger experience in the car? I see lots of head toss in review videos.

Curious if passengers can comfortably read books, watch on iPad screens, etc., without getting car sick, etc, etc.

Thinking about picking up one of these non-adjustable suspension units. Coming from Cadillac CTS Vsport.

Thanks!
Vic

The kids have never complained about it, nor have they got car sick ever. The wife likes the seats in the IS F better for long trips. The GS F is definitely the softest riding car in my garage by a significant margin.

So......completely depends on the driver. I own a 16' and am friends w a dealer so prior to buying he let me take home a 18' for a weekend. Being that the only difference is the suspension I was trying to decide if it was worth the diff in money. And it's not. Impossible to tell the difference with normal everyday driving. My understanding is the benefits of AVS show up at the track or w some spirited driving.

My wife gets motion sick when riding shotgun and reading in almost every car. My GSF is no different.

I've had a few passengers express how rough the GSF ride was, but they totally forget about it when they experience the performance and handling.
In fact, apart from the auto tranny, the GSF handles and drives just like my E39 M5. Same nimbleness and torque characteristics.
