Default Re: Must be the one you got, cause mine rides fine...a tad too soft for me

Me too. I have 20" tires but still find the suspension just a little bit on the soft side. I keep the tires pressures on the high side just to stiffen things up a bit.

I think the original poster has something wrong--the ride in my Q is very supple and smooth--even over rougher roads.

Default Re: I am glad to hear that. At least I know there *might* be a solution...

I agree with the individuals that said check the tire pressure. Mine came at 45 lbs, and I brought them down to 40 and it's much better.

It's confusing in the fact that the door panel says 44 and the matrix in the book says 36. I split the difference.

I had the same problem with the added rattling in the back. Turned out it was a bad shock. just an fyi- for those that cant find that annoying rattle coming from the back- its the shocks.

I know i had a rattle in the back seat area, even with everything pulled out- it was the shock in the left rear. once replaced, all is good.

Default Pretty stiff here as well

Picked up my 2008 s-line this weekend and I too noticed how hard it takes the bumps and road imperfections. I attributed it to the 20 inch wheels which look awesome by the way. I'd take looks over ride especially since I am not driving this car. It is my wifes. I drive a 7-series, so it is hard to compare the ride of any other car, especially an SUV.
