Thanks glyn,

I haven’t found that so much…..

My d3 sport on 19s was great (even when I had it on 20s it was better), which I think is why I’m struggling so much now. My d2 on 18s is better than my d4 and I know I’ve got suspension issue there lol.

2011 D4 4.2TDi pre-facelift
2014 D4 4.2TDi facelift

and all of them have had an extremely hard ride not helped by 20" alloys on the first three and 21" alloys with 275/35 tyres on my current car.

Hitting even a small pothole that other cars would glide over will jar your teeth but hit anything larger and you would swear you are running on solid rubber tyres.

For such a lovely car it really is a terribly hard ride even in Comfort mode.

Had a few Audis over the years, mostly early stuff, newest was a D3 prior to my D4, nothing much kept me smitten with other marques so I floated about a bit from one thing to another until that four ring lure caught hold
