The result is a more compliant ride than its competitors with less hop and waggle noticed over bumps, even with an empty bed.

For a small car with so compliant a ride, it stays composed even near its limits.

Along with that change the ride became softer than that of the previous generation, which provided a more compliant ride at expense of crisper handling.

The high-performance Ws6 suspension package was also re-tuned to offer a more compliant ride while still maintaining tight handling characteristics.

The suspension was not neglected, either: Cobra models received a softer, more compliant ride compared to the GT model.

The cabin is huge and comfortable, offering a compliant ride for all passengers.

Yet by using run-flats to tune the suspension, BMW managed to give the car a quiet, compliant ride despite the tires.

The result is a remarkably compliant ride with little of the rear-end hop normally exhibited by unloaded pickups.

The compliant ride is a key virtue; grip and lack of body roll also impress.

Its more compliant ride and quieter engine mean it has more tolerable highway manners.
