My Skoda Rapid is too firm.

I quite like my Skoda Rapid 1.2 TSI Elegance, but the low speed ride is abysmal. Is there a modern 5 door hatch available today that will ride anything like as serenely as my 1952 Jowett Javelin?

This is a well known fault. Cured with the Rapid Spaceback. Obviously smaller wheels and deeper profile tyres will help. The culprits of poor ride are stiff suspension and low profile tyres.
