Yeah verada's are luxury, so soft suspension is the norm, nothing a set of superlow fronts and low rears with some decent struts wont fix :P

I have a KW GTVI and it has a nice firm ride.......

Went for a drive up the Black Spur the other weekend and AWD was very very nice.

If you enjoy it half as much as me you will be very happy with it....

well done on the new car mate :D
how much did it cost?

Nice pick up mate.

AWD's are very nice. Havent driven a Magna AWD, however last week when my car was in the shop for a few days, I got my hands on a Subaru Liberty AWD and damn it was fun to drive, had it 80km/h over roundabouts and speed humps, hooking it around corners at speeds I wouldnt do in my FWD and the car didnt lose traction at all, very hard to lose it.

Then again, maybe I just didnt try hard enough, but if random recklessness couldnt fault the car then I can only imagine how hard it would be to lose traction as an everyday driver.

/me wants an AWD

Welcome champ, wise choise with the AWD. Don't know of anyone that's been able to kill the drivetrain yet, God knows I've tried :cool:

You'll enjoy it with stiffer suspension and wet corners.

Good to see another AWD.

AWD suspensions may feel softer than FWD ones due to the fact that it has extra grip and tend to roll more. However, the KL Verada AWD been based on the EI does have a softer
suspension than the KW Verada GTVi AWD which was basically a merger of the KL AWD and
KL GTVi.

The drive train is borrowed from the EVO VI, EVO VI RS and the auto box is from the EVO
VI GTA and is required to handle the extra torque loading due to AWD. The electronics of
the auto box is the same as for the FWD variety.

well done on the new car mate :D
