Yeah, I hear you on the harsher ride. Something I’m contemplating. I think putting the 19 inch TSV’s on it will help with that quite a bit (anyone confirm?). I test drove the LR and P back to back and the P was definitely a little more rattling over the bumps (but didn’t get the sense it was too bad). I have an s2000 and had a WRX so I think I’m a bit used to the bumpy ride. I also have a mini van that rides like a cloud so I think it will be a nice balance for me.
One thing that helped me solidify my decision to go the MYP route is the crappy tires that come with the inductions on the LR. While they are all seasons, their snow rating is not good (4/10). I would need to replace them with a new all season anyway since I’m in Chicago and drive all winter. That made the cost even less when factoring in the new rims+tires (with good all seasons) and selling the Ubers. The cost diff in the end will be around $4-4500 and I will have a sporty alternative to the mini van.
