But are you comparing apples with apples in terms of condition and the age of springs, dampers, bushes?
Even tyre type and pressures can effect ride and how they drive. I noticed a significant difference when I changed from the original steel wheels to Avon alloys on my 411. The Avons are wider wheels with wider tyres.
So for example if you compare a 411 with steel wheels to a 603 on Avons alloys that alone will make a difference in how they feel.
To my mind the only way to make a truly objective comparison is to use cars which all have their suspension parts in "as new" condition and are shod with the optimum wheels and tyres.
