Those wheels look great - how do they ride? Do have air suspension?

Thanks...yes, I have Air. It rides well and I would say it cushions any hardness that might be transmitted without Air.

I tried one with same wheels without Air, and I lived down a farm track at the time (hence the FFRR), and I was surprised how good it was stock.

It's not as cosseting as the FFRR was, but it's no where near as hard as the RS6 I had. The big bonus is that it doesn't roll and float the way the FFRR did, and it goes exactly where you point it. It corners well, flat and with confidence. Not as much feel through steering wheel as the FFRR and about the same as the RS6 (ie read remote).

The litmus test will be my 18mile commute on a poor A Road tomorrow morning. If it's jarring and uncomposed I will be trying to swap with someone on the RDesign 20s with the deeper sidewalls!!

Overall, though I'm very pleased with the car. The tech is impressive and it works. Some nice little touches. Some silly omissions, or oversights, Eg the driver's sunshade not covering the top right corner and leaving a gap where sun sines through. And nowhere to stow the luggage cover/blind if you have the luggage/dog guard in place...it doesn't slot behind 2nd row seats and between guard. There's space, but it doesn't quite fit. Could have been hooked or clipped to back of guard in space between seat.

It's great though that My Volvo is saying my car will be ready between the 9-18 March!! Hilarious.

Just need to figure out how to get the Spotify App on Sensus.

Get a Tilly hat. It beats any sunshield for comfort with low level winter sun.
