Very early days yet, with only about 20 miles on them (50% Fast A : 50% winding B road) but here are my first impressions of the RainSport3 SUVs on my '07 Sport:
Positive: Some of the harshness of the ride quality has definitely gone, particularly higher frequency vibration and 'crashiness' over bumps and potholes.
Negative: A slight loss in the sensation of precision when steering, combined with a noticeable increase in required steering force.
Also, it may be too soon to say for sure but I am also pretty certain that the very noticeable high pitched whine/drone that used to cut in at 50mph and above (and which my local dealer attributed to a failing rear final drive) isn't there now.
