Sport or adaptive suspension

I am about to order a CLE and i only get sport or dynamic body control suspension options if i want to go with the amg line exterior. I am afraid the fixed sport suspension might be too hard, so I’m thinking on whether to spend extra on the adaptive suspension to get the option to set it in comfort for city driving (the roads are not the best where I live). Any suggestions? Has anyone have complaints i. The ride comfort of the sport suspension? Will the adaptive give me more compliance on comfort setting, or only better handling on sport setting, or both?

Yes I do recommend getting the adaptive suspension, when you are in relax mode you have the dual personality and can have the comfort of a CLE 450 although not exactly due to technical limitations but much closer than with just sport suspension. CLE then becomes a great grand tourer.

Thanks. I forgot to clarify, this would be a CLE 300, not a CLE 53. Your reply applies to that model, right?

Yes I thought you were talking about Ride Control on the CLE 53, my bad but I still would get the adaptive suspension just that the version on the CLE 53 differences would had been more dramatic.
