Default How is the ride quality of the F Sport?

Did anyone spend quality time driving both the F Sport and non-F-Sport models? How does the ride quality compare between the two? I kind of regret not giving the F-Sport more consideration. Love the look of the wheels and the grill, but I didn't want a stiffer ride and assumed the ride would be worse than the standard model.

Didn't compare between the two but coming from a 400h it doesn't seem to be too harsh even in sport s+. The wheels soak up the road imperfections pretty well. Handling is noticeably better. Hardly any vibration with the yamaha dampers.

We drove both about three times and finally settled on the F-Sport, even my wife thought it had a better ride. It just feels more secure but I have always been a fan of a firmer ride. But honestly the difference is not as large as many people point out.

Thanks. F Sport looks very sharp. I'll have to go for a test drive next time I am due for a service.
