I have to select a new Audi A4 as company car. I have a kid and safety and comfort is the best. I also would like to have the best stability on CURVES when driving on Highways.

I have a limited budget from company and have selected a set of options ( side assist, lane assist, MMI etc...) . I still should make a choice between these two package of additional features. Which one do you recommend ?

Alternative 1 :
Sport Driver Seat => extra comfort ?
3 Zone AC => for comfort of passenger behind

Alternative 2:
Audi Drive Select
Dynamic steering
( no budget left for sporty suspension.)

Please help. Thanks

What country are you buying the car in ? Canada? The way the packages are done in different countries it makes a difference when suggesting things.

Mark,

I am based in Portugal. In terms of package I have already selected some that apply ( like comfort packages etc...)

My question is basically if it is really worth it to go for Audi Drive select and give up on sport seats or rather stick with the sport seats and complete it with other stuff with whatever budget is left.

What is your opinion. I read a lot of wow about drive select. But if you had to make this choice, what would you go for ?

thx

Personally I would go for the seats. Drive select strikes me as something you will use in the first few weeks/months and set to Auto for the rest of the time you own the car. The seats you sit in and enjoy every minute you are in the car.....plus they look cool.

Sports seats as the sport suspension is already great. I have the side assist an love it
For me the side assist came with the advanced key option I wanted
I have the S~Line and the suspension is great

Thanks Mark. Indeed it makes sense.

I am just trying to see if there is a way to improve the behaviour on curves at higher speed on highways

Denton thanks for the reply.

I am not going for the sport suspension. There is a Sport Pack that could be selected. I am just afraid it would turn the car too stiff and too uncomfortable for every day driving. What do you think ?

Without a sport suspension, do you still think that the sport seats are still better that drive select + dynamic steering ?

I have 19' (255/35/19) on Canadian roads which take a beating in the winter and I do not find the suspension to be hard at all ...my wife says my car is very comfortable so you should have no issue with sport pig and 18' wheels I considered the drive select and after research decided not to go with it. It was not a money issue as my car has every other option and it was a factory order
