Drove a neighbours A4 Avant 1.9TDi 130 with sports suspension, nice hard ride, stuck to road like NORMALglue, bl**dy brilliant
I'll explore having an Audi next then
Tested a 1.8T Cabriolet quattro for 4 days, nice hard ride, stuck to road like SUPERglue, bl**dy brilliant, U -Turned quicker than a politician, circumnavigated roundabouts on rails, went wherever you might care to point it.
Tested a 3.0TDi quattro saloon that had "sports suspension" - but not the S-Line that I am considering, although it had every S-Line extra except those subtle (nigh invisible?) body bits (even 17" std S-Line wheels). Soft armchair ride, stuck to the road like..... any old but comfortable car you care to mention - NOT sporty
Dealership say S-Line is a much firmer ride (I hope so) than std sports suspension, but all this implies that the suspension is the determining factor for grip and not quattro.... which I find difficult to believe is the case.
Would the 3.0Tdi Q be too heavy in the nose to upset the balance? Does anybody have data / opinions on sports suspension differences? Anybody mildly disappointed by the roll / grip on their quattro? Is servotronic steering to blame? Is Tiptronic to blame? This model had it but I'm up for a manual
Appreciate your thoughts
