What can be done to improve the ride quality/comfort of a car?
What can be done to improve the ride quality/comfort of a car? I own a four year old Hyundai ix20 with alloy wheels and 205/55/R16 tyres. The ride quality in my car is atrocious and it crashes and rolls around on even the slightest bit of bump. My previous car (2001 Ford Mondeo LX) used to cope with potholes and bumps a lot better than my current car, and Ford never made any such claim. So, can anything (technically) be done to improve the ride comfort of my car?

Good range of efficient chain cam engines. Cheap to run. Good visibility. Easy to get in and out of. Plenty of rear passenger and boot space. Attractively facelifted for 2016 model year with newer engines and transmissions.
