Default S-class - ABC or 4Matic

Hi,
I'd like to purchase a new S-class - with a little engine but with very comfy - I'm a comfort, not a speed guy.

The thing is - 4matic and ABC adaptive suspensions are exclusive - and I like to get them both.

What should I get, if I'm interested more in comfort? Is the default Air suspensions good enough for the rough Romanian roads?

I would say ABC falls into the "sport" category not the luxury / comfort sector.

Likewise 4 matic won't help the ride due to greater unsprung weight of the suspension. Useful however if you have deep pockets.

Airmatic is as good as suspension needs to be unless you want to go round corners on rails without worrying about your passengers!

Thanks Stuart,
I'll stay with for the 4Matic advertised safety enhancements, as seems like the default air suspensions are good enough.
