What do you recommend for a lady passenger (wife) who gets carsick? Her husband (a friend) has Jetta Sport and feels Sports Suspension best for her. I thought height of 4x4 (Tiguan or XC60) or the hydractive suspension of C5. Be grateful for your opinion.

Friends say that a hard ride is better at preventing carsickness than a soft, wallowy ride. So coil springs better than Hydractive. XC60s and Audi Q5s are good. But best stick to 16" or 17" wheels. The new BMW X1 on standard 225/50 R17 tyres combines excellent ride on poor surfaces with the sort of handling you expect from a BMW
