That's what I would have thought. Though I did read on some review from 2012 that it didn't.

Either way, if it does have 'sport' suspension, then I have no confidence in Fords idea of a sport set-up. It is soft, especially the front, which dips mid-corner, therefore you need to balance that with a kick of throttle to lift the front end, not what a good set-up should do.
It understeers far more than my old daily runner (2005 Focus LX).

It is a nice car, but it is no drivers car. The steering is far too light and gives little feed back, the electronic assitance to far too overpowering. This doesn't help in the lack of handling feel.
