If you’re not happy with the fixed spring ride in the non-TnGs like I am, get a fitness sandbag and fill it up with 100lbs of sand. Put it over your rear axels.
The load leveling rear shocks tend to top out and make the ride more harsh when the trunk is empty. Putting some weight over it really smooths things out.
I’m realizing a lot of people probably don’t have this issue because they’re hauling gear or at least some type of weight in the back. With 2 small kids I don’t have a lot of gear to move around yet but the weight permanently in the back has made me happy enough to keep my car instead of turning it in for a TnG.
This is with stock ecopias. Im sure there’s an even bigger difference with proper rubber.
