I will go to dealer and explain all this to them. I think I have good research in this issue and he could undestard...
Btw. A7 is only design what I like in Audis car fleet. Thats why I bought it. There was a $7K different between spring and Air so I have thought I could live with regular suspension
What is your tire pressure? Maybe you need to drive another A7 with different non-air suspension set up to see. Honestly you are the lone person here to complain of the stiff ride EVEN on tiny 17s rims.... I am appalled.

I can feel every small bump on the road. I would say that the suspension doesn't absorb anything even with these 45 wheels profile. I can not imagine how the comfort ride would be with 19inch wheels. Does anybody have a same feeling with regular spring suspensions?
My previous car was a Lexus LS430 and I have heard that Germans car are little stiffer but did not expect that huge difference.
What you just said makes the point, maybe you should just let the A7 go an buy the new LS sedan that was just revealed. It will give you comfort for you, sorry but the A7 is riding and driving the way its design to do so. The BMW 5 series I had in 2012 was a boat and worse than my 2012 Lexus GS350 F-Sport which is firmer than my BMW by a huge shot and close to my A7 in ts of comfort/handling balance. I would not be surprise if the new LS sedan is firmer for your taste. No one wants a smooth cushy car anymore.... Either you test drive the car properly and admit your mistake and go from there. Sorry.
