It is the new 'lift-related' dampers that some are finding a bit strange in some situations.

UK motoring press have made comments that there some situations where the damping is not ideal.

They may well be better than the previous generation, that won't be hard to improve on.

Adaptive still has its place, where users want to run both a comfort and sport biased chassis, across a wide range of road conditions and use.
