Since the '15 is a used one you should not really suspect a suspension change. As you know each car was used differently, maybe had an accident or was not maintained properly. Additionally the tires needs to be the same size, brand, type and pressure. I'm saying this because I changed tires brands for my cars before and the difference between tires is huge! such that the car could feel heavier and planted or light and floaty.

My only guess about what the OP is seeing is that it might have to do with different tire pressures being used in the 2 vehicles.

Really? I've heard reports here that the 17s had a softer suspension than the earlier 6th gen models. But I've also read there's no difference. Eventually I'll upgrade to one of these and I think a softer suspension would sway me more.
