Default What option do you wish you'd gotten in your A4?

Just curious: Is there an option you didn't get in your A4 / A4 Avant that you wish you had?

The car I talk about in this thread (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2821903) has the B&O audio, whereas the one I'll get if that one doesn't work out doesn't have it.

Which got me thinking about the question that is the title of this thread.

Sport package- I needed a car right then and there so I could only get what was on the lot. Thats the only option on my list that I couldn't get.

My dealer screwed up my original order so after having that one I had the opportunity to reorder with some experience.

I added power tailgate (Avant), factory tints and dynamic suspension.

Nothing. It's perfect.

I wanted folding dimming mirrors, driver door intercom, under seat storage, trunk grocery bag hooks, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, cargo net, DC jack in the trunk, and 110v outlet on the center console.

Too bad the pencil jockeys in New Jersey crossed them off for USA delivery, so I was stuck packing parts in my suitcase coming from Europe.

I have a loaded P+ but used to have a P- B8 A4 (very base). The options I can't go without:
1) sport package. for the seats alone.
2) P+. It's a lot more than just LED DRLs, lot's of little things that make it more than worth the price.
3) Nav. Even if you don't want navigation the backup camera, color DIS and button layout are things you'll appreciate everyday.

I found that you can upgrade and make vcds tweaks to get *most* of what P+ offers (though you'll end up spending more). Sport pkg: you could buy coilovers and get a better drop and also buy nice wheels but the seats are tough to find. No realistic upgrade for Nav and all the perks it offers.

I originally ordered an S4, ended up in the A4. So I miss the 3.0T/Sport Diff option!!

Yeah, I wish the seats were available separately. At my age, with a young child, I'm not really interested in the firmer suspension, etc., but those seats would've been nice to have.

To be honest, I wish I could get smaller wheels / higher profile tires on the A4 Avant.

Sport package.. Wish I had gotten that. I thought the suspension was firm enough during the test drive, but now that I drive it every day of course.....
