Premium Plus or Prestige ?

I have booked Glacier White Premium Plus. I see lot of the members in this forum own prestige. Does the S line make such a huge difference ?

Night and day, the prestige is the way to go, and really just for the S-Line, because you can always change the wheels, the ventilated/heated seats is a nice nice feature, just like the 4 zone climate control, keyless entry and Bose system but just like the other extra options like B&O or innovation package it is nice to have them but you can live without them.
Other must have option is Full LEDS, do not know if you can add them to a Premium plus.
I think a prestige with Full Leds and Audi side assist (with folding mirrors) is perfectly well equipped.

For 2013 the Prestige is $2,250 more expensive than the Premium Plus. Overall a relatively small increase when you are potentially spending $65-$80K+ on a new car.

If you want a fully tricked out A7, you will need to get the Prestige to get options like LED headlights, B&O stereo, or Innovation Package. I know some people who wouldn't consider an A6/7 without the LEDs.

On the other hand, if you you are looking to select from dealer inventory and trying to keep the options from spiraling out of control (like me), the premium plus is still a very well equipped automobile.

However, you are the only one who can say if it is worth it to you. Personally for about the same price, I would take a base S7 over a fully loaded A7. I'm probably in the minority with this thinking.

Depends on what's important to you...

I intentionally went PremPlus because I didn't want the S-line exterior; I like the clean look without it.

I was specifically look for 'prestige', but was limited to dealer inventory and finding one with both a prestige and sports package wasn't easy. Wound up getting a great deal on a premium-plus so I jumped on it. Don't regret it one bit. The sports package (sports suspension and paddle shifters) was more important to me than the features that came with Prestige.
