I ordered mine without driving one with the sports package and have absolutely no regrets. Unless you're actually looking for a floaty ride I think you'll be happy with the 18" sports package.

Sadly my wife doesn't like a rough ride and we're probably going to have kids soon so had to go with non-sports. I'm sure handling suffers compared to sport but I still enjoy it just the same.

Go and test drive a Benz C350 Sport with 18" AMG wheels. It should give you a very good feel of the ride quality of the B8 with sport package. The ride quality of these 2 cars are surprisingly similar.

I have a young baby, and a wife that isn't fond of uncomfortable rides, and I ordered the S-Line package... It's been totally comfortable, no issues, no regrets... And that's with 19s.

I had a loaner 2008 B7 A4 with S-line while my B8 was having 5k service and the ride was noticably rougher and the wife complained. So maybe I made the right choice.

I've got a 10 months old and a 4 years old with my A4 and sport package. My wife even preferred the sport seats due to their adjustable thigh support and the ride is far from rough, I find the suspension great. Firm but not rough.
As for the kids, the 10 months old doesn't care and the 4 years old says that "it's a cool car because it's got a button under the rear view mirror to make the car cool when the little green light is turned on"
