It's a total misnomer that subframe connectors and solid body bushings provide a "harsh" ride. There will be more vibrations transmitted, but that is not synonymous with a harsh ride. None of today's unibody cars have bushed subframes. They are all welded, but are much better insulated to deaden vibrations.

My 76 T/A with fully welded subframe connectors, solid body bushings and G-bar braces rides and handles better than it ever did before. Also, before I welded in the connectors and installed the solid mounts, I couldn't open the doors when the car was up on a lift, as the body would flex too much to allow it. Now, they open and close perfectly when up on a lift. To me, that means the overall rigidity of the body has improved dramatically! That far outweighs any increased vibrations that I fell. In fact, the slight increase in vibrations that I can feel in the seat of my pants only leads to an increased sense of being "connected" to the car.
