Here's some answers... I also toyed with the idea of a used A8 for a while but got an A6 Avant.
The A8 was appealing due to the extra space, but I had just about given up on them when I saw the new A4 Avants, especially once I heard they had gotten a bit bigger. So I was looking into those...

There's no such thing as a free lunch, even with an exhaust driven super-charger.

You could hear the B5 gurgle when it was moving fuel around in the fuel tank.
My Quattro A4 does this, especially when the tank is getting low. You could sit and hear the fuel move if you stopped short of engaging the starter. And now that I think about it the B5 makes a...

It's not a loud noise and I can only hear it when I'm in my garage and it's quiet outside. I figure its some sort of pump going into a ready state. It happens when I actually pull on the door...

Wow... sounds like I really stumbled onto something special with my A6 :-)
They must not sell that many sports suspensions to warrant removing the option. I remain insanely happy with my purchase.

2008 A6 Avant Mileage report - drove about 350 miles yesterday and averaged 29.7 mpg and 65 mph
Mostly interstate driving at 70-85 mph as well as a fair amount of moron-induced bumper-to-bumper for 10-15 minute stretches. Most impressive for such a heavy car. I'm loving it!

The variable ratio steering and throttle/tranny adjustments are the more pertinent differentiators. The suspension is the same on all ADS A4s with the obvious difference in the variable dampers. ...
