Hi all,
New member here, and potential new owner. I was excited to come across this forum, and glad to see so many good questions and answers. While I've read throughout the archives, I do have some items I'm hoping can be addressed by this group.
I currently have a deposit on an S Q4 order, but am still debating some options before finalizing. My car will be Grigio Maratea with the Rosso interior, 20 inch Uranos, premium package, luxury package and the carbon bits. I am up in the air on the sports suspension however (the one with the Koni FSD shocks that comes with the sport package, not the Skyhook suspension). I've driven both, and while I do feel the handling is better with less body roll while ride harshness over rough roads is still minimized, I can't quite make up my mind. The steel suspension is quite competent as is, and I'm really not partial to the colored calipers or paddles (or spending more than I need to). Any input one way or another would be appreciated, but right now I'm leaning towards leaving this off my order.
I'm coming from an Audi S5, which is a pretty decent handling car itself. It seems a lot of people on here are either former/current Mercedes or BMW owners, but as a long time Audi driver I would be interested to know if there are those who have made the switch from an //S car and what their impressions are.
I'm also curious if the auto entry seat feature can be disabled, as I often shuttle my kids around and don't want to crush them as I get out. I'm tall so my seat is pretty far back as it is. My dealer is looking in to it, but anyone know if this is possible?
Sorry for the long first post, and thanks in advance for any help!
