Default 2015 A3 Mandatory Option?

Looked at the 2015 A3 twice and decided to sell my wife's camaro (2011 RS) and get her (me) a 2015 A3 2.0T. Camaro is in storage as she drives our Silverado 4 x 4 in the winter. I wil not mod this car for a few years but had experience (a great one) with the APR chip installed on my 2000 TTQ. QUESTION: Is the Premium Plus Package and the Sport Package options mandatory options as I plan on keeping the car for 4 - 6 years or more? I know you need the Premium Plus to get the Sport Package. Please advise if I am wrong. Fun fact- the back seat was not as bad as I thought is would be on the A3 but, of course, I am comparing it to the back seat on the TT. Thank you. Jim in Michigan. (The TT was sold 5 years ago and I need to update my signature at bottom)

You need to get the sport package. In addition to a better tuned suspension it also has a much more comfortable set of seats.

What did you get and why do you prefer the Premium Pluss package?

Mag ride, Sports seats are essential & must take! rest of the options depends on how deep your pocket is!

If your into modding, I'd get just the Premium. The only thing I'd want from the premium plus is the seats, but as for options, you can change your suspension to be better than stock with HR coilovers and save yourself alot of money in the process.

I got the premium. Wish I had nav , compass mirror, folding side mirrors, and climate control. Headlamp sprayer. My 2004 a4 had all the above except folding mirrors and nav and I do miss it.

This car is for the wife, correct? I think Premium Plus is a good choice because of the ignition key, MMI, and heated seats. I think most women would want the Convenience Package and not care much about the Sport Package unless they liked the seats. I wouldn't want Driver Assistance but some might. For me B&O is a must have, but not for everyone.
