    Default Hard ride suspension

    I don't know if it's the roads in Canada that's the shits or there is something going on with the electronic suspension. The car seems to ride really hard on the road, and when I push the button on sports or auto I don't feel any difference. When I push down on the car it's very firm. Is there anyway of making the ride smoother

    Are you sure that you still have the electronic shocks?
    And no replacement shocks like koni or bildstein.

    i believe the sport setting means "always firm" and the auto means "firm when needed". Believe they get hard on rocky road aswell.

    The electronic sport suspension is notoriously unreliable...but they usually fail and go soft, not hard.

    So it could be your is fine....I've swapped for some GTS springs and shocks, car feels really firm but handles brilliantly and seems to soak up the bumps better than my softly damped (but lowered) Sportwagon.
