It's time to change the tow car, 1900Kg of van needs something substantial. So, flicking through the various car reviews you can't help but notice that the reviewer was provided with the test car with a high specification. In the opinion of the reviewer (who just happens to have the air suspension option fitted to the test car), it is always worth spending an extra 2K plus to get the air suspension. Perhaps something to factor in when new?
However, for mere mortals contemplating a used version, I do wonder if it really makes such a difference that it almost becomes a necessity? The fashion to fit larger and larger alloy wheels with expensive skinny expensive tyres that compromise comfort sees no sign of abating. Perhaps this very action encourages buyers to opt for air suspension to smooth out the roads?
If you own a large 4X4 (Q7, Touareg, ML, etc) did you buy the standard steel spring model and perhaps later regret it, or was the comfort OK on standard springs?
