Default will the suspension soften?

I picked up my new car today and couldn't be happier (except for my lady complaining about "feeling the bumps in the road"). I've got premium suspension and honestly, until she said something, didn't even notice anything. Now I'd notice if I ran over a penny!

After thinking about it, I did realize that the demo I drove (200 miles on the odo) did feel a bit smoother; part of the reason I liked the car so much. I'm assuming that the suspension will loosen up over time. If that's the case, about how many miles to drive before a change is noticed? I've got 84 miles on it now.

give it a good couple thosand miles to settle in. And if the premium is harsh to you, be glad you didn't get the s-line

Cool, thanks. I personally love the feel of it, but I'm sensitive to complaints!

Rollyfoster

do you have 17" or 18" wheels?

If you have 18" you will find a significant difference moving to 17" wheels

Coming from and still owning a 2000 Jeep Wrangler, driving my A3 is like driving on clouds.

Theres no bumpy complaints what so ever.
