Hi
I am speccing up an order for an F pace Portfolio on standard 19" wheels. All my dealer's F-paces have been on larger 20"+ wheels and the ride is too firm for my liking given the terrible quality pot holed roads I drive along in Buckinghamshire.
I'd rather avoid having to get adaptive damping if I am able (I resent spending £1000 to get a car to ride sensibly when this should be built in to the basic package?) but am concerned I might end up shaking my fillings out if I don't get it. Has anyone got any views on how the Portfolio rides on the standard 19" wheels without adaptive damping? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get this? Plenty of magazine reviews seem to imply that adaptive damping is something to go for, though most of these have been reviewing cars with 20" or 22" wheels....
Many thanks
