Racer is correct. This is not a Lincoln riding on a cloud. It's a car you are expected to drive and take part.

RE: suspension
These guys are right. Even with the non-sport suspension, the ride is pretty stiff. However, might be a good idea to check your tire pressure. Some dealers like to put over 40 psi in the tires while the cars are sitting on the lots. I guess its to keep the tires from flat-spotting.

RE: suspension
Hi and welcome to the forum,
The tyre pressures on the Sport (not tried on SE) are critical to ride harshness.I tries 38f/35r as per Jag on this inside of the petrol flap but found the ride too hard for the family.I lowered the pressures to 33 front and 33 rearas per their comfort settings and this made a BIG difference.Another thing that has puzzled me for a while was feeling every bump on slightly uneven roads from the back.I changed the rear arb bushes but this made no difference and amgetting the rear lower control arms replacednext Satas the bushes have started to collapse on these and the lower arm has to be changed as it comes with the bushes in place.

The rear rattly noise can often be the front lower arm. most of the rear arms do not have bushing. They have swivel joints that plain old wear out from the movement.
