hey hi. i just got my A170 CDI and I felt that the suspension is firm too. but guess thats the compromise for more stability for the ride.
what i did was to pump a slightly lower tyre pressure at the rear tyre and that helps a little on the ride comfort. was contemplating to change to a higher profile tyre too, from 195/50/15 to 195/55/15. higher side wall may increase the ride comfort.
will post here soon on the outcome. cheers [
