Default Whats your guys opinion

So im about to go order my new a5 which one do you guys think:

1. A5 S Line, with the RS5 style Rims, B and O, and drive select (can i request them?) Phantom Black with alcantra seats
2. A5 S Line reg S line wheels, Daytona Grey, alcantra seats.

Btw in Canada the SLine is loaded, it comes with drive select, B/O and those nice sport seats, idk what you guys have in the USA/UK. Let me know your opinion, also can i get audi to change the inlays to carbon ones.

Def go with number 1, The RS5 style looks much nicer than the simple s-line, and drive select is one of the best options ever! im so glad i have that now and trust me you will be also, and black with alcantra seats looks crazy good! do it man.

How about a combo, I say titanium pack (rs5 wheel) in daytona for sure! Really all depends on whether you like the black trim/black grill or chrome/aluminum. If I were to build one it would be titanium in daytona gray...its one of the nicest colors on the road and super rare. Wheels don't matter as I always change them out.

I'd go for either w/out ADS - extra $ for options you may not need or use that often.

I agree, would not be on my list of have to have options. Not much on the electronics and doubt I would use it.

I would go Daytona Gray, but then I'm biased! Just be forewarned that there is no middle ground with Daytona Gray. It needs light. In the light it looks stunning, in the shade it can be pretty dull. I live in TX so it is sunny more often than not and it is amazing the colors the light brings out.

You must be referring to the 2012 model as drive select was an option on the 2011.

I'm not sure if this has changed for 2012 or not but I was really crazy about the RS5 wheels for my A5. However, because I was ordering the Sline package, it already came with the 5 spoke 19" Y wheels. I don't know how you can go about requesting different wheels if a package comes with specific wheels already. I would imagine you'd have to pay extra for them - if you can switch them that is.
