Lol great idea…ill share that info with my wife and 2 year old…jk
Sure. There’s a sure-fire solution to ensure you get the ride you want. It’s called the Mercedes Benz EQS. Amazing ride. You’ll love it ?
I have to ask what your previous cars were? For me personally the Mach E has a very smooth conformable ride but then again I owned a 1992 Sentra SE-R and 2004 Sentra Spec V earlier in my life and those set my base line. The 04 Spec V beat the crap out me on long drives but then again those were sport turn suspensions and tuning. I will admit the Mach E is no were as smooth as my Honda Crosstour but that had a different ride case.
You obviously do not live in a town where there are potholes and horribly paved streets like we have all across the city of Chicago and you likely do not face many of the concrete roads with evenly spaced seams that result in a harmonic bounce that cause car sickness for family members and my dog in the back of the car. Don't get me wrong, on smooth asphalt road, like are all over the place near the cottage we have in Wisconsin, the Mach-E rides like a dream, but on snow plow torn up city streets and seamed concrete roads and highways, the MME is a pretty terrible ride (as the 60 pages in the other thread can attest to, there are plenty of other MME owners out there who feel the same way). As for my previous cars, counting back from my 2021 Mustang Mach-E First Edition AWD ER -> 2017 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4, 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 40th Anniversary Edition, 2009 Ford Fusion Sport, 2007 Mustang GT Manual (and a 2007 Honda motorcycle at the same time, not that that is overly relevant here), 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4x4 Manual, 1996 Chevy Corsica, 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix, and a 1992 Mazda 323 Manual. As you can see, I have driven plenty of different vehicles over the years and have lots to compare the MME to and all of the vehicles I listed there were more comfortable to drive than the MME is.
I put my tires at 32 psi. It is low, but still safe. In my car it definitely make the ride smoother over rough pavement. It might improve the bounce a little bit, just because more of the shock is absorbed by the tires, but it is not the solution to the bounce problem.
That was @markboris.
I wouldn’t say any of those vehicles had a sport suspension though. So kind of like comparing apples to crabapples. The ride is actually fairly good compared to actual sports oriented cars. Which is more or less the target for MME.
Like wise, happy to spend about 1k …and the MachE is very comfortable on highways, so it is is still a livable with problem.
Seriously, it’s like the headrest is trying to scramble my brains ?. Plus, i don’t think the rear suspension compresses at all (exaggerating) because it will send whatever items are back there flying on any decent bump.
As I have reported in the big thread, I have a GT and I find the suspension very bouncy on certain surfaces. It might be a little less bouncy than non-GTs but it is still very noticeable and passengers have negatively commented about it. In my opinion it is by far the worst feature of the car.
