Default Premium/Premium Plus

I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to configure my order (TT roadster 2.0T FWD). Premium Plus is $3220 more expensive than Premium. It looks like the big ticket items that you get with PP are Automatic top ($900), BT and Homelink ($450), and Xenon ($500) which add up to $1850. What am I missing that comes with Premium Plus that would be worth the remaining difference of about $1400? I'm thinking the wise choice is to go with Premium and just choose those options a'la carte?

Default It also gets you power seats, auto-dimming mirrors & rain-sensing wipers, as well as

some leather bits in the interior, and an armrest. If you don't care about these things, order ala carte & save the money.

The premium plus will also drop your residual two points on a lease so another reason to skip it.

Me too, would think loaded car would retain its value better.

I think it's because Audi doesn't fully residualize their packages like BMW

Thanks. If I get the Enhanced Leather (2 tone) I get the extra leather parts anyway, correct?

Default Good point.

The power seats, dimming mirrors, and rain sensing wipers would end up costing you far more than $1400 when you figure in the residual drop.

Sline also drops your residual.
