I hear so many fantastic reviews about Adaptive Drive so I have a question for people about what it is like without it. Have I missed a major technological advance in the new car if I don't get it or is this just some more electronics that I'll have to take back to get fixed in 3 years time?

Is the handling and ride acceptable? Is it really worth optioning up for? In Australia it is an $8,700 option so it is a big decision.

Thanks
