What's the Volkswagen Golf SV like on sports suspension?

I'm thinking of buying a Volkswagen Golf SV on 17-inch wheels with sport suspension to replace my old Tiguan R Line on 18s, which I found unpleasantly hard/ jarring. What is your view on my intended purchase regarding ride quality? I particularly want new TSi 150 engine only available with GT spec.

It's okay. Excellent engine. Road test here on 18" wheels: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/volkswagen/volkswa.../
