I'm almost certain to be ordering an A3 Sportback S Line 2.0 TFSI in the near future. I'm struggling to settle on what options to have, due to the sheer number available.
One of those options is magnetic ride, and it's difficult to tell whether it will have a genuine benefit over standard S Line suspension and how the 'normal' and 'sport' settings will compare to standard. Audi's website and price guide doesn't really explain it very well.
Is the 'normal' setting the same as an A3 S Line without magnetic ride, or is it softer? Is the 'sport' setting harder than the standard S Line suspension, therefore giving handling benefits, or is it simply comparable to standard? Or is the standard S Line suspension somewhere in between 'normal' and 'sport'?
I'll be coming from a MkV Golf GTI, so I'm kind of prepared for the fact that the A3 S Line might not be quite as good on the handling front. Is magnetic ride going to close the gap, or will it simply be a waste of money that is better put towards other options?
Opinions, educated guesses and hard facts are all welcome!
