Is there a more comfortable car than the Mazda 3?
I purchased a new Mazda 3 Auto last year. It drives very well but it has a hard and uncomfortable ride on 195/65R15 91V tyres. I’m thinking of changing to a similar size auto with a more comfortable ride. Do you think a new Golf 1.4 DGS would be good or are there any better alternatives?

I can't help you because 195/65 R15s on that chassis gives one of the most comfortable rides available. Obviously you should do some fundamental checks such as tyre pressures and make sure that the transportation suspension blocks have not been left in the springs.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
