Our test automobile had the non-obligatory air suspension, which can decrease the rear end to assist with lifting luggage in and out. Inside, the Q8 has restricted cubby storage.

It's a minimal value in the grand scheme of things. 7. The suspension on the S5 is totally fantastic for a daily driver. Compared to the F30 and the Mercedes by way of consolation, I do not suppose it is even fair. The S5 loves eating up the miles and does so with out sacrificing the consolation of the passengers. Now, that comes with a a small price. Personally, I think the S5 must be a little bit stiffer particularly in Dynamic. I also suppose the S5 has no proper being the identical experience peak of a standard A5 coupe. The S5 is suppose to be the 'sportier' option. Lower it my 10mm or so to provide the S5 that sportier really feel. What I'm going to complain about though is the fact that the engine is method too far ahead of the front axle and there is solely an excessive amount of weight over the entrance wheels.
