After driving my C4 for a few days I drove the C5. What a difference in ride smoothness between the two. The C5 will be sold as soon as I get my reprinted title and until I sell the C4 I'll be driving it. That may be quite awhile. I was wondering if there's a way to smooth out the C4 ride (besides driving on perfectly smooth roads :p ).

I like the C4 better. My shifting is smoother in it, the AC unit does a better job (but then it is a smaller cabin space due to being a convertible with no back hatch area). I like the high door sill because I sit on it to get out and up, being able to put my feet more directly under me.

A late model blue C7 is my target car to buy, after I sell the C4.

I heard an upgrade to a coil over suspension helps with the ride quality on the C4s.
