Default Sports package or not?

I am stressing over whether or not to get the sports package or not for a 2002 A6 2.7T. I am not a performance "nut" but enjoy playing sometime. Most of the time I will be driving from A to B everyday....50 km return and there are no challenging turns etc. I do some highway driving but not that much. What would you recommend?

Most here like sports. Drive both, decide for yourself.

Unless you find the seats uncomfortable in the sports package, I see no reason to get the non-sport car. I think it enhances the everyday "A to B" driving every bit as much as it does the fun, pushing-it-hard driving. Even Audi seems to see it this way. Correct me if I'm remembering incorrectly (as if I have to encourage anyone here to do that) but I think it's been posted here recently that in '03 the standard car will have the '02 sport suspension calibration with an even more aggressive setup for sport pkg cars.

I would recommend Sports package, unless you want to sportify it DIY, but definitely sport it! jmho.

Default For you? Get the sports package. Me? I would probably not get it again

I kinda wish I had saved the money to do my own sport suspension package. But that's just me.

If you like the BBS wheels more than the stock, it would be an argument.
