FWIW, I wound up choosing the comfort suspension. Thanks for all the different views.

On another topic Karl-Franz, we battled with exchange rates and sales tax percentages.
The conclusion reached, was that the US Vantage GT is being sold at an extremely attractive price.

Congratulations. I am sure that you must be looking forward to your new (MY15) Aston Martin.

So for everyday purposes, not track, can you even tell a difference in the turns and regular road use?

Mikey raises a good point, as IMO the Roadster sports suspension set-up offers the best balance between driving dynamics and comfort (aside from ADS of course!) it's a bit softer than the Coupe's optional S.S. and is standard fit on Roadsters from the 12.25MY...... so a test drive should be pretty easy. Having said this if your roads are mainly nice and smooth then the full fat Coupe set-up does add a bit more control/feel. smile

I can
I reckon I could tell you what model Aston I'm driving from the suspension & steering feel wink
Its very personal thought
You need to find out for yourself by driving a few wink

Let's try to stay off the "BR offers this or that" or the selectable suspension discussion because neither of those is really an option for me. The question is simple: if you were buying a new Vantage, drive on mostly smooth American roads, but aren't really a "sporting driver" 95% most of the time, would you choose Sport or Comfort?

I will say that I'm leaning towards Comfort, but I'm curious if the Sport suspension is "comfortable" enough to use without being annoying.
It may now be an option if you can get yourself to Scotsdale AZ. If you have a look at the BR website details of their new partner are given.
