Default Any advice from current avant owners?

Making the switch from an '04 A8L to an A6 Avant (CPO). Is the S-line package worth holding out for? Are there any options that are a must-have on the avant? Any trouble spots that I should be on the lookout for?

Default AAC and ACC

Those are my favorite features by far (adaptive air suspension and adaptive cruise control). You get both the sport and comfy suspension in one.

Default I've had mine for a short time and am very happy I found an S-Line...

I love the paddle shifters, and I THINK that is an S-Line-only option.

With the S-Line, you also get the nice sports seats and 'nicer' leather, which I really like. That and the black headliner and the daytona grey color option and minor styling difference.

It is a nice package, but the sport suspension or adaptive suspension are totally independent options, which are more important for driving/handling. (I couldn't find an S-Line with either). I think everything else is a la carte, within the confines of Audi packaging.

Paddle shifters were coupled to the wood wheel, independent of S-line.

Default Not what I meant

You wrote that you think that the paddle shifters were ONLY an S-line option. To which I state that you could get the paddle shifters if you ordered the wood wheel, S-line or no S-line.
