Ride is actually awesome, Audi really made some magic happen here, it rides like a low urus, which if you've been in an urus, that's a great compliment.

My RSQ8 came with 23's and it rides very well. I kind of want a RS6 Avant now.

I would definitely get some aftermarket 20's (lol, 20's are small these days) and put on meaty tires. Looks better and will ride better. But, that's a couple of years down the road.

And today I have reached my personal vehicular nirvana with this pairing. My wife got sick of my constant Land Cruiser oogling and gave it the thumbs up. Had to give up my 2020 Tacoma in the process, but they pretty much gave me what I paid for it a year ago - couldn't say no! Hoping for a very long run with these two.

Yeah, we picked one up for the wife, replacing her Panamera GTS. I thought no way in hell she would like it, but it’s been the best family car we’ve had. It’s a tank, solid build, crazy quiet inside, no frills car. I’m pretty sure we’ll keep it around forever and just run it to the ground. Works well as my track tow vehicle too.

Use this 997.1 C2S Cabriolet as my daily. Thought this would have been more fun than an Audi S5 Cabriolet (IMO it is), which I also considered.

Quite rare in USA for example, as they dont sell very well here. So much so that Toyota is ending Land Cruiser sales in the USA in 2022.

Why so low? Can't imagine you can daily drive them being so low. This is in response to the Golf R and BMW.

I’ve been working this recently acquired 89 Carrera into the daily driver rotation. I’m loving the throwback experience. Every time I take it out I’m approached by 2 or 3 people at least who want to talk about it. 217 hp never felt so great!

I love the look ...and they drive better than stock...drive them every day. My commute to the office isn't that far, the roads are pretty flat here in central Florida, and I've been driving low cars for quite a while so its not that challenging for me.
