Why did u guys choose premium over sport?...

for me, it was the spoiler.
I really disliked the spoiler on a sportback.
Oh, and I prefer the premium rims over the bi-colored.

The sport suspension wasnt enough of a difference for me, and I had to have a power seat. With those factors (plus wanting the convenience package) the premium was a much better buy for me.

1. Conv + BiXenon (I had to have both)
2. Lumbar support
3. Less aluminum (I know I'm weird)

Style seats. Hell they are even better than the GTI seats

IMO

There isn't a huge difference in ride between the two. What makes the biggest difference is the tires, which have a much stiffer sidewall and improved grip. There is slightly less body roll, but not much difference.

I can say this because I made a deal when purchasing mine to get the sport style wheels and tires instead of the premium rims/rubber. I've drive an A3 w/ sport back to back with my premium with the sport tires, and the difference is minor.

That said, I wanted what the premium offered more than what the sport offered. If I did it again though I'd get both packages.
