ABC as an option
Thinking about purchasing a 2013 SL..
ABC is now a $4K option.
Is the standard agility control sufficient for this car for normal usage? Am a hard driver but in Florida you go for miles on the interstates before having to make a turn.
Any thoughts on the standard agility control in the other MB models?
For $4K I would rather have the Magic sky roof.

For my taste, the Agility Control suspension would be the better choice. It is still very sportive, and has a very progressive / natural feeling. ABC, whilst technically impressive, leaves a bit of an artificial feeling when turning. Magic Sky sounds very cool altho Ive never actually seen it.

I decided to stay with the std suspension.
Read a review of the 2013 SL and the reviewer suggested staying with the std suspension. Felt ABC was too touchy in the car.
I had ABC before in a previous SL and had no issues but have read some real horror stories and I do want to keep this car possibly beyond warranty.
Just thinking ahead.
