Quick thinking Riding high or riding for a fall? How much do you care about ride quality? Does it bother you if there's a distant thump from beneath every time you drive over a badly repaired expansion joint, or do you never really notice and so don't particularly care about such things? And anyway, what exactly is ride quality in the first place? Of all the various aspects that fall within the meandering remit of car assessment, working out whether a car has a decent ride or not is probably the most difficult thing to get right. There are endless reasons why, but the key element to remember is that it's not something you can measure objectively, not with any genuine success. And, if you think about it, because one man's green is another man's blue when it comes to ride comfort, this is always, in the end, going to present us with a problem.
