I have a '05 XC wagon with 105K, purchased new (high highway miles as it is the ski/hockey rink car). I recently picked up a 99 T5 with just about the same miles (104K).

I love the speed of the T5, but the ride is torture--you feel every bump/pavement seam, etc., and annoying dash and interior rear rattle (I live in the Northeast, so there are plenty of bumps.)

I know the T5 has a stiffer suspension, but would you expect the ride to be dramatically different from the XC? Any advice on improvements?
