I get sick when riding in anything without a pretty firm ride

My sister bought a Grand Cherokee, and its floaty and disconnected qualities really reminded me of feeling less-than-great in minivans and SUVs in the past. Whenever I ride in something comparatively stiff like a Miata, Corvette, or Z4 I have no problems whatsoever. I grew up in somewhat sporty compacts so that may be it, but I rode in an awful Sebring a good bit which is not exactly a zero-pitch corner carver.

I get a headache in anything with too stiff of a ride.

I was thrilled when I discovered my boat actually has a firmer, sportier, less floaty ride then I was expecting.

It seems that Audi does a good job of engineering suspensions to balanced so that they are forgiving through bumps and firm enough when it doesn't need to soak up the imperfections. My car is quite stiff, but is pure comfort compared to an '84 Z51 which was bone-shatteringly harsh.

I would feel nauseous every day before giving up a continental. Thanks for the prescription, just need some money!

I'm the same, went for a ride in my mates '74 Cadillac and the mix of the floaty suspension and petrol fumes made me pretty queasy (it was so so comfortable though)

My MR2 suspension is too hard for me though, the previous owner put fairly cheap springs on it that are pretty rough. Gonna splurge on some progressive Eibachs in the next month or two.
