Default Newbie--pickup new A4 next week

I just delivered the check to the dealer on my car. I got an Amulet red 5-spd 1.8T front track with premium leather pkg and Bose. Ended up getting a great deal through the NATO sales program. Paid $24,700!! I want to get some wheels though in the next couple months. The 15' just don't do it justice. The dealer said he could swap out the 15" for something else for some extra cash but I'm going to keep the all seasons for the winter time and pick up some 17" or 18" in May. Can't wait but have to because of customs paperwork. Hopefully I'll post some pics.

Default Re: You got to get the sports package.

I test drove a 3.0Q with sport package. I thought it was almost too stiff. I have a 99 BMW 323i with sport package and aftermarket spring and it doesn't ride as harsh as the Audi OEM sport package. The non sport felt more like my Bmw's ride quality wise. But I haven't really pushed the handling on the audi to see the limits probably won't until I get some new wheels /tires.
