Default Test Drove 2001 A6, feel like floating over bumpy road, is it normal or something wrong with the car

I expect more comfortable ride for more expensive A6 than my TT, but it end up not satisfactory experience. I assume there is problem with the A6, or is it like that?

the A6 is fully loaded with everything. It is just not very comfortable on waving or bumpy road. feels like riding a boat.

Default You mistake cost with performance, handling, etc. The has nothing to do with price, but with who ...

... buys the car. Audi makes a non-sport A6 for people who want a fine, top-quality AWD midsize German car but do not necessarily want a stiff suspension. Many people like German quality and style but don't like an aggressive suspension - they perhaps find it too jerky and uncomfortable. So even though the handling SUCKS, there are plenty of Audi buyers who will appreciate that. You have to consider the buyer.

I drove a 2.7T non-sport suspension A6 for a few days and I was terrified of the handling.

Default It was auction car, so I thought some problem with the car.

I think I should not compare it with sporty cars.
