How does the Type S ride compare to the base TL?
I'm looking for my next daily driver. I really want a Type S but I've heard that the stiffer suspension can be uncomfortable for daily driving. I've driven a base TL with Navigation and it drove great!

Base for what year?? Suspension changed for '07/'08 base compared to '04 - '06.
In terms of stiffness, I think it's something like:
TL-S ~= '04 - '06 MT > '04 - '06 AT > '07/'08 Base.
Don't know where you're at or how your roads are, but imho the TL-S is just fine, ride-wise, as a daily driver.

My daily driver is an 07 TL-S and I think it rides just fine. I recently had a 2011 TSX as a loaner while the dealership diagnosed and fixed a parasitic draw issue I had and the suspension felt all soft and squishy. The TL-S is much nicer to drive and I don't think the ride comfort suffers much from the stiffer suspension.
