If I do get my test drive in the Pulman GTI then hopefully i'll be able to pass judgement on the ride (if it doesn't have ACC) compared to my Roc (with ACC and also on 18" wheels) and decide whether it's a good £800 saved to do without.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Either way it's a moot comparison. The ride may be better/acceptable to you, but it's a whole new setup, so the only meaningful comparison would be GTI with and without ACC.

And ideally a blind test. :whistle:

EDIT:
However, we're still desperate to hear how you find it MH.  I guess if its less than you expect and doesn't have ACC that would be somewhat useful to know!

Cars are to everyones individual tastes and therefore subjective. What I like in mine may not be liked by you in yours. Its all part of the rich tapestry of life  :nerd:

I would consider it a waste of money (for me) if the standard ride is as compliant as ACC in Sport mode (where my ACC spends most of it's time). Sport mode on my Roc is fine for me and making it any softer is something I only do when there is the risk of a pothole.

If it's any harsher then ACC might be money well spent after all. If I had back issues or there were always back seat passengers I might've considered it anyway.

Thing is as well, not selecting it is not actually a saving at all.  It's like me saying I've saved £1600 or whatever by not getting leather, and a further grand by not choosing the pro nav!
