Is it me or is the suspension really hard?

We have the S-Line 40 and my god potholes and bumps are the worst even at low speeds. I tried using comfort mode but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Everything else is great in terms of the ride but I always find the suspension so hard at times.

Anyone else?

The S-line has slightly lowered and firmer "sports" suspension.

I am awaiting my Q4 with the same spec and I wanted the styling of the S-line but was always worried about the firmer suspension. I hope I haven't made a mistake...
(I wish I'd gone for the adaptive suspension - if you don't have that option then changing to "comfort" does nothing to change the suspension)

I love the Audi logic of calling the entry-level Sport and then giving the S-Line the sports suspension

I've had a lot of Audi's and always went with the S-line - the suspension is hard on them, but when looking at the Q4, a friend drove me around in their sport A4 and the ride was far more pleasant, so opted for the sport rather than s-line and have not regretted it - far better suspension set up for the UK (did go for a lot of bell's and whistles, so was not any cheaper)

Yeah that was why we went for the S-Line as we wanted quite a lot of the extras for the Sport, but bigger wheels
= less range and hard suspension= less comfort so doesn't really make much sense thinking about it now.

It's very frustrating because I went for S-Line for aesthetics - both my other Audi's were S-Line's which gave them things like the tinted windows on the rear which you have no other way to get. I am now very nervous about my upcoming Q4 delivery ...

It's not that bad don't worry. Look on the plus side,it makes you drive extremely slowly when there may be pot holes around

I'm finding the suspension OK, but then again I've owned many German cars. As far as I know Comfort Mode only relates to Motor and steering performance.

Adjustable suspension is either an option or only available on the Vorsprung.

Is it me or is the suspension really hard?
