Quite the delightful sensation. The felt impact and more specifically the body fore-to-aft "pitch" from potholes and the like is about halved, cornering is flatter (less body lean) that prior models which have essentially the same suspension but with front coils and rear leaves. Squat on hard acceleration nearly absent. Occasionally an odd sensation; for example when stopped on a steep him with nose uphill, hard initial acceleration from a start will actually cause the rear to lift a bit rather than the expected opposite reaction. In my case the basis for my comparison is a '54 Patrician to a '56 Caribbean. And all that said, I always considered the '54 Patrician to have a magnificent ride.
