    B9 Ride Quality Question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Pardon the noob question but I am a novice on Audis.

    If I were to order a B9 Prestige Plus with the Sport Package, would the ride quality be diminished over the standard set up. I've heard so much about the B9's great ride, I want to make sure I get it.

    Will be coming to the B9 from a '14 Mercedes CLA. Ride is pretty hash with it, so I want to make sure I get an improvement here.

    Thanks.

    Dave

    I have the sport package on my B9, and it's perfect, don't waste money on the Adaptive, from what I've heard it's not distinguishable. Just took my B9 on a road trip through southern Utah (very rough bumpy desert roads) and it did so well, everyone was obsessed with how smooth my car is.

    I have the adaptive suspension on my B8.5 S4, and it is definitely distinguishable. No idea if it's the same system on the B9.

    That said, just drive them both and see what you think. For that amount of money you should be able to book a test drive on each platform.

    The S4 would have an adjustable sport suspension, the B9 Adaptive deletes the sport suspension. Most people with the B9 and all the reviews I've read have said that it's not a big enough difference (I had it on my B8, wasn't worth it), but definitely decide for yourself but I can speak from experience the sport is uber comfy. The new B9 has 5 link suspension in front and rear which is the big improver here; allows for fore and aft absorption as well as up and down.
