Just leased the premium plus with dark blue and tan leather with manual (no other options) as my first car (I am 45 and a longtime motorcyclist but I drive my wife's BMW often) from Danbury Audi. Since I just moved to CT I need all wheel drive and the A5 handles 4 or 5 inches of icy snow just fine. My iPhone plugs right into the glovebox giving me access to my playlists and the stock sound system sounds amazing with the iPhone. Stock Bluetooth works great. I think you would really have to be listening to high quality CDs or 320kps tracks on SD cards to justify more money for the B&O sound system and/or tech package. Ride is very smooth and the understeer is minimal, which is important to me. As there is a pretty small gap between the stock 18" 10 spoke rims and the fender and the brakes look the right size with 18's, it's hard to justify the sport suspension. I do wish the exhaust was more aggressive and it was a little quicker (I knows it needs breaking in) but this car is easily the best looking ride in its class. Parking it next to my friend's dark blue Jaguar XK (80k?) makes him a little jealous. Thinking of doing the APR chip but probably shouldn't as I am one ticket away from a license suspension.
