What's the ride quality like on optional 19 inch rims on standard suspension? Is it noticeably better on 18s? I've an A6 40 TDI (2019) and worried the S3 will be too harsh. Know the S3 will be firmer but what are 19s on stock suspension like?
If it's the same as the edition1 with the 19s, nothing to be worried about.What's the ride quality like on optional 19 inch rims on standard suspension? Is it noticeably better on 18s?

I have the optional 19 inch Trapezoid alloys on my S3 and find it absolutely fine. My girlfriends BMW 128ti is on 18s and is noticeably firmer.

Hi Lambtech, thanks for your feedback. On balance, would you go for the S3 again knowing what you know now? Are the trade-offs in comfort/noise/refinement worth it overall? I have a 2019 A6 40 TDI on 19" alloys, S line suspension, but also had a /66 plate S3 hatch previously. I know that the S3 can't possibly come close to the A6 for comfort, space and ability to waft along the road, but its a tempting proposition and I fear that the gov beaurocrats will soon get rid of cars like the S and RS cars in favour of electrics. So I'm tempted to enjoy one last hoorah in a good petrol back-road blaster! It's a really difficult choice for me!
Not in the UK...The 128ti likely to have run flats which tend to be firmer ride too.
