How can I make the Xa ride better on the highway? I discovered that Consumer Reports was right about its ride -- fatiguing and much rougher than the Echo's.

Are you using low profile tires?

If you're using the 15" wheels, check the air pressure, run it at around 29-30 psi for more softness.

You can even go with 14" wheels instead to get more tire sidewall.

I think it does get better over time. Or maybe that is only off the interstates. I have noticed that the interstates around here are truly bouncy.

Don't be such a nancy boy...... cars with short wheelbases ride "choppy" ....deal with it - if it rode "soft" it would be no fun to drive !!!
