I agree...my ride is very good and MUCH better than my (previous) BMW M2I haven't tried the air suspension but no, the steel suspension on my RWD is quite good. From reviews I've read/seen the consensus seems to be that Porsche has done a really good job on ride quality even on the steel suspension. I'm no expert, but compared to my Model S with air suspension, you feel the road more but all the bumps are more dulled. It's a very pleasant balance between feeling connected to the road without being harsh.
