Ride quality is in the eye (or bottom) of the beholder
B and A class cars are fine cars: compact, spacious vehicles, ideal for urban, suburban and local country living. Huge bargains really.
But there are compromises on suspension and ride quality compared to cars of twice the price.
The only judge is yourself. Some people love hard suspension cars - they're called BMW or Porsche drivers. Others prefer something a bit more compliant.
An A class sport will ride a lot harder than an A class which will ride harder than an C class. You pays your money and takes your choice - although minor mods such as tyres will made a small difference.
