Q5 TDI - Add S-Line?

Q5 TDI - Add S-Line?
I'm getting the (Canada) Q5 TDI with:
- Technik trim (higher one)
- Nav package w/ parking system
- Tire pressure system
- Load-through provision
For me, this is quite a nice upgrade from the base model. Noteable missing, though, is the S-Line option. My brother is somewhat trying to convince me to add it on, and I'm wondering what you guys think?
- The sports seats would be nice - I felt they were more comfortable and I think they probably would be for longer drives too?
- Steering wheel was cooler/nicer to use
- Larger wheels make a less comfortable ride, correct?
- Everything else is just cosmetic?
- WHAT is "s line interior"?
For a $2,200 upgrade (or $3,100 for extra things I don't even understand - adaptive dampening, drive select)... I don't understand the "value" of this upgrade. Am I missing something?
- Technik trim (higher one)
- Nav package w/ parking system
- Tire pressure system
- Load-through provision

Re: Q5 TDI - Add S-Line?
S-Line interior is just stitching that is put in on the Leather seats.
I believe its special "S-Line" stitching and there might be some color effects on the seats..so its somewhat multi-colored (matches of course.)
You might get some other interior effects as well on the dash and the doors (though I am not sure.)
larger wheels will make the car look sportier but your wheels will be more sensitive to bumps on the road - also curb rash. If you are driving your large expensive wheels through rocky areas, expect your wheels/rims to be scratched pretty quickly..and of course larger wheels are at higher risk of bending and so forth.
The above is from my experience. I am also not an expert and I am sure there are many car nerds that will scoff at what I have written.

Re: Q5 TDI - Add S-Line?
When it comes to options on this vehicle, I think S line is one of the better values for the money. Love the seats, steering wheel (would be better if it was heated) and paddle shifters( use them a lot and find myself looking for them when I drive other vehicles) Drive select is fun to mess with and it is neat to mix and match suspension, engine/transmission, steering configurations. On the other hand, you will probably be quite happy in comfort mode for 90% of your driving.

Re: Q5 TDI - Add S-Line?
i would drop to Progressive instead of Technik (save 4500$)
add back pano roof for 2000$
Add sline without drive select for 2200$
plus save 300$
I never saw the value in paying 2500$ for advanced key, heated rear seats, side assist and adaptive lights
thats how i specced mine (premium, nav, pano, sline)
