Default Ride quality with 4 people in the car

Has anyone else noticed how awesome the ride quality is when you have 4 people in the car? It's much better than when you ride alone! Rides like a luxury car should!

I bet you they tuned the suspension to ride well with a passenger in the rear, as it is commonly a chauffeured vehicle in Europe.

Hmmmm... I don't really feel much difference really. Maybe because I drive more conscious (cautious?) with passengers. I use mine for the carpool on 395 but I can really tell that it still has so much power and wants to haul *** even with three peeps in the vehicle.

Haha, I'm talking about ride quality, not performance!

Speaking of performance, I noticed that my braking ability was greatly decreased. I guess I am used to feathering the brake pedal a certain way, but I almost rear ended a few cars at stoplights because I wasn't used to it!

I only take three hot 22 year-old 98 pound Asian girls with me and never noticed a difference in ride quality. Fun quality -- that's a different story.

Do you notice a difference in the quality of the ride then?

I just notice that with three ladies in the car, there is a lot more bouncing up and down in the back. btw two of them were lesbian lovers!

Actually, maybe it's the warm weather that's responsible for my improved ride quality!
