Aside from shocks & springs, what else does the sport package include? In past years, the sport package included a 3-spoke steering wheel, which then became standard. Some years there was also the option of sport seats.

I'm not up on B7 options. Can someone please help?

THanks!

Only sport suspension and s-line. S-line has the markings all over the place, plus 18" 5-arm wheels and sport suspension.

Sport suspension is pretty obvious from the wheel gap---20mm lower than non-sport.

On '05.5s, the sport package on the 2.0T included the 5 double-spoke 17" wheels and the sport suspension. For '06 and up, the 17" wheels were included in the premium package and sport package changed to sport suspension.

I wouldn't buy one without sport suspension unless you plan to upgrade the suspension after market.

There are 4-spoke steering wheels on the B7, which I believe were on non-sline/sport suspension.

I test drove an '06 model the other day. It had the 17" split 5-spoke wheels, and a 3 spoke steering wheel.
It handled nicely, and rode beautifully. Much smoother than my 98 with 120k miles, albeit with slightly more lean in the turns.

The salesman did not think the car had the sport suspension, but he wasn't sure. And I didn't know either. There were not any other cars nearby to compare the ride height.

Anything else I can look for?

Thanks,
P.

PS Other than 18" wheels, what else does the S-line come with? Thanks again!

For 2006, S-line included 18" wheels, s-line badges on the rear doors and front grille, S4 style front end, side blades and deck lid, S-line door sills, S-line steering wheel with red stitching, paddle shifters on tiptronic.

If you look up the option guides for 06 and check the stickers in the trunk, you should be able to figure out if the car has sport suspension or not.

non-sport looks like a B7 allroad, sport still looks like a B7 allroad, but slightly less so :P

So if a car has the 3-spoke wheel, does that mean it has the sport susp?
