Now, if you're looking for a soft and really compliant ride - no, there are certainly cars that will do that more effectively. Your 235 is one of them.
This. I'm DDing my GT4 with the lightweight buckets and I have zero complaints. Scraping that I had feared would be a big issue turns out to be very rare, the suspension that I feared would be very harsh on regular roads turns out to be just firm like the E9x M3's EDC between Normal and Sport, so entirely livable, and the buckets that I thought might be uncomfortable for long drives turn out to be the most comfortable seats I've ever used. I drove 2 hours non-stop on the freeway in them and got out with zero aches or pains, and my wife was able to nap in them! Sure getting out takes a bit more effort, but even that isn't very difficult with just a tiny bit of practice. And there's even a surprising amount of cargo capacity in this car!

Granted I have access to my wife's Mini if I need to move something very large, so it isn't technically the only car available, but it's MY only car, so a regular 981 could absolutely be DDed as long as you didn't regularly need more than 2 seats.
