Wondering about the GTS Suspension.

[twporscheguy]

I've had my GTS for about 5 days now. My settings are: Sport mode, Normal Chassis, Low Suspension, Sport Plus sound. 21 inch wheels and 18 way seats. Mostly city driving in Chicago where there's lots of bumps, uneven roads, and pot holes.

The ride feels planted, sporty, and comfortable for me. Definitely feel the bumps and pot holes but it is not stiff or harsh. I don't feel body rolls much but can be due to the 18 ways doing the work. I don't have rear axle steering but low speed turning and lane changing feels easy.

I just want to make sure the GTS in normal mode feels more comfortable than a Tesla model S Plaid.

This was an interesting comparison. Expected them to pick the Tesla based on price, but the GTS was the overall winner.

I was glad to hear them agree the GTS was the most “relaxing” and “fun” to drive”. That is what I think makes it worth the money.

I think the GTS is what this car should have been from the beginning
Much more refined, mature and honestly a better drive compared to 4/4S/Turbo.
The only thing I don't buy is a relaxing drive with 22" wheels.
Perhaps on a good highway but otherwise it's a bit too much.

I guess the ride on the 22” is still an open question for me. I ordered the 22” because I just don’t like the look of the 21” especially compared to the spyder rims and 90% of the roads where I drive are good highway quality. So I am taking a bit of a gamble but I reason that I can always get a 3rd party set of 21”or even 20” as a winter set. If the ride comfort on the 22”is at least as good as the model Y on bad roads then it will be good enough given the handling will be better than the Y as it was on the 4 I had. Also I am curious about the 22” in off road settings so that will be something else to play with on the moderate to bad roads.
