I’m impressed with how much it varies. My wife isn’t a huge fan of a jarring ride. She wasn’t a fan of my M3 even in it’s comfort setting. This car gets down right comfortable even on our bad roads here in Oregon when set to normal. It helped me convince her why it is a great car

When you ramp it up to Sport + the ride is very planted and aggressive. It screams track me. It can be a bit harsh over rough roads ( to be expected) but overall I really like the ride and handling in all settings. I tend to drive in Sport + most of the time.

Mine arrived yesterday. I'm so happy to be back to a manual. Clutch feels heavier than expected, I love it!
