Great insights everyone. This is reassuring, given that I know from other threads how important the handling characteristics are to many of you who are going to drive your GTs harder than I am.

It does make me wonder whether there is some lazy journalism going on, with reviewers who like the adaptive set up, just assuming without having tested it that it the passive will be cruddy.

@Rioblast - yeah, I'd assume any number of things are going to affect the feel of the car. The rims will obviously affect how firm the ride feels and transmission of bumps and lumps into the cabin. My focus was more particularly on body roll and vertical movement in the standard set up. However Richbot made a good point in another thread that while there is some roll in the GT, this doesn't necessarily impact balance or the ability to actually place the car going through corners etc.

Thanks again everyone - that's one less unchecked options box to worry about. Now, what else didn't I tick...
