There is a great deal of difference between suspension settings. Comfort is actually comfortable while sport is actually sporty. The ride also isn't so terrible to preclude owners from driving it daily.

The TT is no Olympic athlete, but it is quick and sporty enough to keep you entertained on city streets and highways.
