V6 and i4 side by side

Finally got both together. The V6 needs a wash, sat at dealer for a week and they didn't even give it a basic wash before pickup.

What suspension of each? Which do you prefer?

Both Touring as I'm too old to survive Sport in our sucky road conditions

Which do you prefer in terms of performance/handling?

Only had 70 miles on the i4 but it is more responsive in the city since the i4 will keep rpm at 3K in sport mode so you get a lot more low end torque.

I assume there is decent turbo lag when not in Sport mode tho.

Probably but I have not even taken it past 1/4 throttle and it's pretty responsive even in tour.

You would think so but, not really. My experience is , the car is very responsive across all drive modes (US Version)

I purchased a 24 Emira 4 cylinder, AMG DCT, I am really impressed with it, it is the 400 hp with the DCT upgrade, I am very happy with it! Great turbo sounds!

Congrats on the new Emira, and welcome to the forum!

The dealer not washing it is a good thing. In my experience they 'wash' more scratches into the paint. Best to leave the washing to someone who knows what hey are doing.

It was a nice and warmer day so I gave the V6 a wash and cleaned the wheels after I got home. Felt much better now
