Default Ride quality: F sport vs regular?

First post.

I realize that this question is probably highly subjective and I need to test drive myself to notice any differences, but asking the public, is there a definite difference in ride comfort/quality between an f sport ct and non f sport model?

I assumed the f sport ride would be significantly more bumpy and rough.

I'd be more interested in a comfy ride rather than a sporty ride. But i like the look of the black wheels and wide grills. Oh, the conunmdrum.

Any opinions?

I have a regular CT, I've swapped on the F Sport SE Lowering Springs (from sewell)
The ride is slightly rougher, but definitely a big improvement in terms of handling.
I've been in an F Sport model (non SE) and it feels like it handles as well as mine, with a slightly smoother ride and at stock ride height.

It is so subjective that I don't think anyone can accurately describe it. I strongly suggest you test drive and see for yourself.

Good luck!

Thanks.

How about from a passenger standpoint? Most of the time i will be carrying someone in the passenger seat next to me. I am wanting to upgrade from an '08 corolla to a CT. You think the ride of the lexus will be more comfortable? I was afraid the "sporting" nature of the CT would be a little bit of a problem when compared to non sporting intention cars.

The regular is slightly rougher than a Corolla.

I personally like the ct200h as the driver or passenger. My friend drives 2010 corolla s and I drive it often as well as ride shotgun. She also prefers the ct. The seat is more comfortable, the ride is more firm, and the interior is nicer
btw I drive the ct f sport (not se)
