Harsh ride
Last year I bought a new Jaguar XF Portfoio but didn't like the hard ride so I sold the car at great loss. I am now considering buying a Mercedes CLS 350 SE with 18" wheels. Do you think I might be making another mistake.

Yes. You need a car on 16" wheels with at least 55 profile tyres, an an SUV with at least 17" wheels and at least 60 profile tyres.
