Default New A4; feels unstable at/above 100mph.Do I feel this way after driving TT for 3 years ?

A4 has normal suspension and 215/55/16 wheels.
First time I pushed it through 100 mph and felt like it was windy outside but wasn't.
I am not sure if this much difference is normal between a TT and an A4.Otherwise A4 is great.Very comfortable in every way.

Default IMO an A4 shouldn't feel stable above 100mph.

unless you are talking structurally...then you might be high. I have had my once non sport A4 up to 120ish and it was smooth flowin. Only thing that scared me was the thought of the non Z rated tires )

Default Check alignment / tire balance / tire pressure. It should be stable all the way to 130...

Although, since you don't have the sport suspension, it's probably not going to feel as glued to the road as your TT did.

Default Ok.Thanks.Since it's a new car ,didn't think alignment,balance even tire pressure!

First I'll check those.Otherwise Project8E is right for saying it's high.

I'm coming out of a TT Roadster, and I think my A4 feels totally stable over 100MPH.
