It doesn't seem so accurate. Sound deadening is highly valued, but once the suspension becomes excessively soft it may become somewhat unsuitable for most drivers who prefer something stiffer for a safer cornering at higher speeds on tight places.

At least in South America this is not a problem for Renault.

My only experience with AMTs was in a Fiat Argo, and it does feel quite bumpy while braking hard and accelerating from a standstill.
