Holy smokes, dude. What a creative way to complain about reduced road noise LOL. "My car is too comfortable, it makes me have to look at the speedometer, i want something that feels like I'm going through a hurricaine at 50mph so that I don't speed WAAAAHHHH"... You're trolling, right? No one is that dense.
I said: "I was always impressed by how my A6 handled and gave the feeling of going too slow whereas I was actually going fast. My Suzuki Vitara BLEW ME AWAY in that regard."
Unless I'm mistaken, this means that the Suzuki handles better and is quieter than the A6. If my English was wrong, please someone correct me. The video I shared above said exactly the same thing. The car is so quiet, comfortable and handles too well for a car this inexpensive. This is why the transition from Audi to Suzuki was actually positive to me. I was expecting crappy handling, uncomfortable and noisy cabin, but I was surprised by the very opposite. I really enjoy this car more than my A6, yet I am an aggressive driver. On the freeway, I have the feeling that cars are driving too slowly. I look at the speedometer and I'm like "No way!". Yes! That's what I meant if you did not get it

Ok, I misunderstood what you said. Dangit I was really hoping to get another good poke in. However I will say that if you think a suzuki SUV handles better than a midsize German sedan, you and I have two completely different ideas of what "good handling" are. Are you speaking of how it handles rough/uneven roads?

And I don't care about your opinion based on part of a comment taken out of context. This is a thread created by a member comparing his Audi to his Suzuki and to Japanese made vehicles in general. This topic is still part of the Audi world. Ignore this thread if you're not interested instead of keeping coming back and showing your visible frustration. Nobody invited you here

When is the title of this post going to be true?

I think KelCan-G-isko-san is just trying to find a different angle to attack audis from. Or maybe he's lacking on clicks, or likes, or whatever it is that you get on MeTube when people watch your videos, and just looking for attention. Either way, you can't compare a stout german sausage to a bag of rice, so trying to compare an Audi to a Suzuki is a bit silly if you ask me.

I'm almost 51, owned a lot of different vehicles. Honestly, Kia was one of the better vehicles I've owned. It was a Kai Sorrento (family hauler) and had it from 150,000km to 315,000 km, then sold it. Had very little issues overall with it. Well built.
But...
...at the end of the day, I'd rather be seen driving an Audi than a Kai. I can put up with a little more maintenance than a Kai, because it's a more complex machine. Just look at the front suspension, all those ball joints and arms. This makes it an amazing handling car because of the geometry and complexity of the system. Yes it sucks to fix and work on, but that is the trade off for a better handling system and smoother ride.

But, an american would rarelly know what a good handling car as there are no roads to drive them properly anyways.
