I disagree, 2CV's and generally speaking Citroen's are the most comfortable cars you can imagine for your back, that was part of their success and everyone would tell you that in France.
I know this is piece of Citroen's advertising, but this page gives some explanation of the comfort innovations

I am not talking about Citroen cars in general. I am talking specifically about the subject car "2CV". This car was never widely accepted in North America and Britain. The 2CV is not a car, it's a means of transportation designed for French farmers still using horses and carts in 1930 France. It's the only car that can make you seasick. The lack of anti-sway bars made the car roll during cornering. An anti-sway or anti-roll bar is a torsion bar linking the left and right suspension arms on an axle. If one link moves, the other link wants to move as well, thus reducing lean and keeping roll to a minimum. Up until 1990, the 2CV was offered with an engine hand crank!
well, it's funny how you can be so sure ...
We old french farmers will keep our 2cv, and I let you with your belief
Cheers !

My first ride in a Citroen was in DS owned by a friend like the one pictured below.
We were driving along on a normal tarmac road and the owner wanted to demonstrate the suspension qualities. Without slowing he turned off the road into a steep downhill rutted track, he deliberately aimed for a large hole. I thought that he was going to wreak his car and I braced myself for the impact, but there was none. I just felt a slight bump. Citroen engineers knew a thing or two about suspension. Unfortunately, their stylists were not of equal calibre.
Since then I have owned two GSs. Not the equal of the DS for suspension but pretty good. Not quite as ugly either.
Decades after that DS ride another friend had a 2CV and I never did get sea-sick in it.
