I don't like xB's suspension; it's too bumpy
The back passenger always complain how bad the ride was.

tC's has a great suspension

It has a lot of body roll but it does ride nice, I wouldn't at all say I ever thought it rides harsh. I nail speedbumps without slowing down and it still feels great.

However that is from the drivers perspective. I can see how passengers in the rear would get a harsher ride since the rears are torsion beam and not independent like the tC is. You can slam on horrible roads on a tC and it feels nice and smooth.

i think the xA and xB suspension is the same...right? not sure. but i think its the same. it handles good, but it's a little stiff.

yep, same suspensions on both xa and xb but i think the xb is a little more stiffer due to more weight.

xA and xB have mostly the same suspension but I think the springs are different between them, probably because of their weight difference.

If the spring is different, than it's good
I believe xA has a better ride than the xB

Really, they are both quite bumpy, especially in the back. But keep in mind it is supposed to be like a "Tsport suspension" or something like that. The xA definitely handles better than the xB, it feels more agile to me. The xB almost feels like it might tip over at the limit without that VSC!

Thats more due to the height of the xB rather than the suspension of it.

I guess thats what I meant. Without the VSC, the hieght of the xB would make it tipable... regardless, it still handles quite well, definitely more car-like than van-like.
