I drove from Newcastle to a gaol at Junee and return and it was great on that country run- not harsh at all.

The only thing that is overly harsh is those really pronounced road strips that are mounds that are very steep about 350 high that have been made with a very aggressive profile to slow cars in high pedestrian density areas.

The only ones that I have found absolutely awful anywhere so far are new ones placed in Merewether, I slow down and go over them at 10 kph.

General road strips are not too bad- but very aggressive road strips you will know about- and you just need to slow down for them.
The only thing I found in the Fiesta is the Recaros seem a little small around the outer thigh, I'm not a big person or anything either, how do you find them?
