Test cars that manufacturers send to journalists almost always come with all the fancy expensive options. That means 19" + RFTs and quite possibly DDC.

DDC in stiffer Sport mode (or short spring M Sport suspension) + 19" RFTs will give you a crashy ride, unless you're on perfect Swiss or Scandinavian roads!

18" RFTs + DDC in softer Comfort mode (or standard non-DDC suspension) give you a comfortable ride here in the UK. I know because that's my setup.

Whether UK roads are more awful or yours is debatable. But trust me, ride quality is far from "terrible" if you have the right setup. If comfort matters to you more than sportiness, you could always downgrade to 17" wheels + non-RFTs for max comfort and least noise.
