Haven't driven a CX platform but Series 1 and 4's seem to be the best handling of the Aero series. 5's attrocious without modifications What do you think is wrong with the 5 as I have not noticed it?

Nothing that a complete change of the suspension, ARB's, OEM Tyres, spring rates etc cant almost fix. Changed all of mine when it was new back in 2016 and it got it up to a 1990's Morgan standard :-). Perhaps on the tail end of production they may have made some changes that I'm not aware of but if you drive a Series 4 on a mixture of good and bad roads and then do the same route in the Series 5 and then see what you think.

Yup S5 factory setup is stiff at the front, sorted out by a soft rear - much like a Trad. I hear the GT is the same. Which is fine, if that's how you like your cars to "work". I have SSL's setup, which changes springs, dampers & ARBs so that both ends feel like they belong to the same car. Some initial roll is introduced, which improves the ride. & I have mine set a few mm higher than standard - a trade off with ultimate handling that allows me to live in a city without grounding the sump on sleeping policemen every trip. I'm still on OEM Yokohamas, just because the tread pattern looks nice! I expect that the next set will be Michelin PS5S, assuming such rubber is available in the rights sizes when I come to change Will
