2025 C43 ride quality
Was waiting for the CLE 63 to come out and, against my better judgment, ended up leasing a 2025 c43 after an offer too good to pass up in the meantime. I test drove it and didn’t have any major concerns. Never drove it for an extended time on the interstate until today. After the first imperfection on the interstate, the car permeating a significant jar throughout the cabin. The more I drove it and encountered more dips/bumps, the more I noticed the car bouncing up and down to the point the passenger in the car said they were getting motion sickness. Seems like it’s porpoising a lot. My 2019 c43 and other AMGs have never done this. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I don't think I've experienced porpoising on a road car, but maybe with all the supposed F1 tech on these cars they wanted to give you the full experience...haha! Joking aside, as mentioned above, first thing to check is the tire pressure. It's not unusual for dealerships to overinflate the tires. Set it to the recommended normal load pressure on the fuel door sticker. Also make sure they didn't forget to remove the shipping blocks. Something that happens occasionally.
