The new Ford Freestar is not a great minivan, but it has a great fold-flat third-row seat and really good flip-forward middle-row captain's chairs. 
 2008 Audi RS
The 2008 Audi Rs feels light and agile for a car of its size. Steering is sharp and precise, providing excellent communication between the tires and the driver. For 2008 Audi Rs, the engine generates 317 pounds-feet of torque, an increase of 17 horsepower over the previous-generation Audi Rs, models and as much as the previous-generation S8. The term Comfort might suggest a cushy, mushy ride, but that's not the case. Even on a narrow, undulating Kentucky backcountry road, we found the suspension well controlled with Comfort selected, though smooth, compliant and comfortable. Switching to the Dynamic mode lowers the suspension by 20 mm (about three-quarters of an inch). The 2008 Audi Rs can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds, according to Audi, impressive given its size and weight. Its top speed is electronically governed at 130 mph. The 2008 Audi Rs 4.2-liter V8 delivers power on demand, responding with a muted roar to every poke at the gas pedal. No matter how fast The 2008 Audi Rs is already going, the driver can tap into a deep well of acceleration-producing torque. 

The new transmission is an improvement in every respect over The 2008 Audi Rs previous five-speed automatic. It helps the V8 engine achieve better fuel economy and deliver better acceleration, an impressive combination. The 2008 Audi Rs features its adaptive air suspension at all four corners.

2008 Audi RS
It's a bit more sophisticated than the rear air shocks that could be inflated on 1970-vintage American station wagons. Four settings are available, selected electronically with the MMI system. In the Comfort mode it rides at the normal ride height (120 millimeters or 4.7 inches). You might think Dynamic is buckboard firm, but we found it quite comfortable and compliant, though tuned for sporty handling and more aggressive driving. There are distinct differences between the ride and handling of the Comfort and Dynamic settings, but neither is uncomfortably firm nor disappointingly mushy; both modes operate at all speeds. 

Switch to the Automatic mode and the system automatically tailors the suspension damping to conditions and the way your driving, automatically lowering the suspension at 75 mph. This is usually the best setting as the system continuously matches the ride and handling to the situation and does a good job of it. The ride is smooth, supple, yet without the slightest sensation of floating or wallowing. Lastly, there is the Lift mode, which raises the suspension 25 mm (about an inch) above the normal (120 mm) ride height. Lift is a good setting for gravel roads, snow, nasty driveway or garage transitions and other situations that call for a raised ride height. Exceed 62 mph and the suspension automatically lowers to the normal ride height.

Besides offering excellent traction in slippery conditions, The 2008 Audi Rs all-wheel-drive system improves stability when cornering, whether under full-throttle acceleration or when the driver lifts off the throttle in the middle of a turn. 2008 Audi Rs also eliminates torque steer, that pulling sensation on the steering wheel that powerful front-drive cars often exhibit under acceleration. 

The key to its excellent handling and ride quality is its rigid aluminum space frame. The frame resists flexing and lets the suspension do all the work, which is how it's supposed to be. That's why The 2008 Audi Rs delivers a nearly perfect balance of fine handling and ride comfort. Driven to the limit in a corner, it understeers a bit, tending to push toward the outside edge of the pavement. To counter this, the driver simply lifts a little from the throttle, and the front tucks in and tracks through the turn. It works beautifully.
