In the standard position the car provides acceptable comfort, but the stiffness and short-stroke of suspension is obvious. The banks are low, even if the suspension is dissolved; responses to the actions of wheel are rapid and very clear. Pinching the suspension, the driver, of course, can feel not so comfortable, but it's worth it because habits of RS4 acquire complete sports sharpness and deliver even greater pleasure.
