which suspension to choose

Hi ,
I'm new here.
I'm from Belgium.

Normaly , we go and order our GLA within a hour from now.
But I'm still not convinced all the way about witch suspension to take.

We will order a black AMG version ( 200 CDI automatic 4matic)

when testing I did not notice much difference between the AMG lowered suspension and normal comfort suspension. (in terms of comfort)

I dont want to lose the sporty driving off the AMG setup,
because I now drive an Alfa Romeo GT which is fantastic in cornering.

But for the view, I find the car much nicer if it is higher.
Therefore, I like to know your experiences regarding the different types of suspension.
For the view I would prefer even the offroad setup but I fear that the sporting submitting from the AMG setup will be lost.

So , ho can tell me the difference between the 3 setups based on:
sporty driving (corners)
stifness (comfort)
noise (road noise, et...)
fuel consumpion?

TXS

our composition!
GLA AMG 200 CDI 7G-DCT 4Matic
Cosmos Black
Exlusief leather interior Braun
professional pack
comfort pack
Design pack
AMG 19" black
Harman Kardon logic 7 sound system
distronic plus

Ik kom uit Nederland, en kan alleen maar zeggen dat ik een benzine uitvoering heb, de 200, en die bevalt heel goed, hij is AMG uitgevoerd, maar geen AMG motor, is voor mijn rijstijl niet nodig. Hij is toch best snel. Ik denk dat u voorkeur uitgaat naar diesel, daar heb ik geen ervaring mee, wens u veel succes. Gjan.

He Gjan,
Bedankt voor uw reactie maar het gaat me niet om de motor maar om het onderstel.
Je krijgt een sportonderstel als je de AMG versie neemt dat 1.5 cm lager ligt dan het comfort onderstel van een "gewone" GLA.
Maar het mooiste vind ik de GLA met het off road onderstel , dat 3 hoger ligt dan het comfort onderstel. (4.5cm verschil met het verlaagde AMG onderstel)

De vraag is of iemand met alle 3 heeft gereden om het verschil in wegligging in te schatten als ook de hardheid en het geluid naar binnen toe, enz...
