Soft suspension is more suitable for highways and fast roads, than narrow winding roads, because there is a pronounced tilting of the body. Driving on the highway is comfortable, and a higher noise level begins to reach the car just above a speed of 170 km / h. The steering is direct, but it lacks the same feel as the brake pedal.
