I personally would not go prestige or Titanium Package - but that is just personal preference...

I agree with the Titanium as a no. I just don't think it the black out grill looks good. I would for sure get the sports differential, it is awesome for handling (on a car that handles great already). I also like the Prestige package, I think it gives you a lot of stuff for the money, nav, keyless start, the B&O sound system and really nice wheels that I think look better then the titanium wheels. That being said, to each their own and get what you think you like.

ADS good if you have bad roads near you. If you have good roads you don't need it. I live in NYC area so I have it. Titanium, on some colors it looks good, some not as much. Wheels change the feel of the car. If you want "sparkly" effect, silver with silver wheels is the way to go. Red with titanium, tough call since it's neither dark or light color. A lot of people like Meteor Gray with Titanium. I saw it in person and didn't like it - too light and monochromatic for me. Black and Titanium I like - looks almost like a stealth cop car. Some people hate it. I believe there is a red Titanium car floating around here somewhere. I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not.

So, cosmetically it's all your preference. Options wise, only buy what you need to save your money. Full ADS is a very expensive option - you can tune the ECU and add a new exhaust for that price!

At one time I really wanted the blacked out grill for my brilliant red S4...but then I seen same color A4 with backed out grill and hated it. I was sooo glad that I didn't invest the money on the blacked out grill! still plan on getting the black license plate holder and I think it will look great with that.
