New Fiesta ST - will it be as harsh a ride as a 500 Abarth on standard alloys?

Will the new Fiesta ST have a very harsh ride? We had a 500 Abarth on std (not essesse), suspension and std wheels, it was too harsh on Sheffield's potholed roads. We would like an ST but could probably manage with an Ecoboost 125.

Will be harsher than the Ecoboost 125. That was fine.

Exceptional road handling. 1.6 Ecoboost engine has lots of eager shove. Practical and comfortable cabin. One of the best hot hatches money can buy.
