I got the 19" Sport Package on my A7. When I test drove one without the Sport Package I found it too soft with a bit more body roll than I like. The Sport Package was just about perfect; plus, you get the nice 3 spoke steering with shift paddles...

Thanks for the comments. I finally found 2013 with 19 inch sport package in Oolong gray. I am glad I didn't give up looking.

Ok, that makes more sense. The age comment threw me there. I'm well past 60 and I still get the same joy of driving the twisties as when I was 20. So was Paul Newman who was drove the 24 hours of Daytona at 70 and did his last behind the wheel race at 82, a year before he died.

I am 69 years old but still appreciate the sporty handling and manual shifting.

I got my a7 2014 prestige sport package & all recently. I LOVE the sport pack. It adds on not only better tunings but a more aggressive beautiful look with the front back & side add ons. I personally do not like the a7 at all without the sport package. so much that the dealer did not have one so i made them go look for one with the exact options i wanted. they found one & traded a a8 for it to sell to me finally. do yourself a favor & get the package..it makes the car

Hitz, the Sport pack does not include the S-line cosmetics, that is the Prestige pack that gives you S-line trim. The Sport pack gives you the lower suspension, 3 spoke sport Steering wheel and a choice of either 19" or 20" sport wheels(some areas have a choice of summer tires, also).

Default Aftermarket Suspension

Does anyone know if there a suspension set-up with a ride between the sport suspension and standard suspension? I have the standard suspension and have driven the sports suspension which is way too harsh for the roads where I live. Thanks
