Hi I am hoping to (properly) qualify as a 500x owner; I really like the city trim popstar. Can't fault the look, 1.4 multijet engine, the height and equipment.
But I (and the rest of the family) are really struggling with the firmness of the ride. We're coming from a 2004 VW Golf TDI which I didn't think was particularly soft but I'm shocked by how much our test 500x bounces around. In fact it's the third one we've tested; I keep hoping to be proved wrong.
I was told the crossover (rather than the city) which we tested before had firmer seats and ride and that's possibly true but this one (city popstar 1.4) is still very firm indeed; I'd go as far as to say we all feel a bit sick even after a relatively short ride.
Am I missing something? Could tyre pressure adjustments help? Any other advice? At the moment it seems like I'm going to have to think of other alternatives and I'm genuinely gutted.
Thanks!
