I have Dunlop tyres all round, maybe the ride is too harsh with these tyres on 33 psi.I can feel every bump on the road especially in town.on 29.5 psi the ride gets settled and only the worst bumps cause some noise in the cabin.Rayaans I will try on 37 psi.Have you got Dunlop tyres as well.How is your mpg.
Read in a blog that Michelin tyres are quiet and improves ride quality of Rx.
Hcimc you could try lowering tyre pressure to 29.5 psi and see if it makes the ride comfortable in your Rx.

I have a F sport model and tried 29.5 psi on all wheels.This has improved the ride in town and is not as jittery as before with 33psi.I haven't noticed any changes in mpg which is 35.7 in town and 41 in motorway.

When I did the test drive for f sport it felt quite smooth as the road was also nice.However after buying the car and driving in my town it became apparent that the ride is unsettled in town due to terrible road surfaces where I live.So I have to really go slowly in town that helps to smooth the ride and it improves mpg.Today a short run in town gave 46mpg with tyres inflated at 29.5 psi.I am going to increase tyre pressure to 33 psi and reduce speed in town so will be driving more on Battery power.I bought the car due to its looks in f sport guise.Fsport model has lateral dampers in addition to coil springs to help with cornering ability and also has better steering feel and weight than other models.The premier model comes with air suspension and it is also reported to have a harsh ride in town.so basic coil sprung Rx's might have a better ride than high f sport and premier models.
