    Looking for feedback on Allroad purchase

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Finally considering my first Audi (driving a Passat B6 now) and pretty much decided on a CPO Allroad. I'm looking at two almost identical 2013's - both P+ with Nav and the same color. One has 33k miles but includes the sport package. The other has 23k miles and B&O (no sport). Both about the same price. Is the sport pack the way to go even with the higher miles?

    I'd go with the sports package; they're harder to fine. B/O isn't anything special.

    I would personally take the sport package over B&O. And I did with my Allroad. In fact I wouldn't have bought it without the sport package.

    Defiantly sports. You get the better seats and steering wheel.

    Oh and no the suspension is all the same height etc

    As far as I know, the Allroad suspension sits slightly higher regardless of the Sport package. I could be wrong though so perhaps the seasoned B8.5 Allroad owners can chime in.

    They all sit up there in the clouds. I don't believe a sports option makes it any lower. They are at least 2 inches higher then a regular avant.

    No change in suspension between sport package and non-sport.

    No change in ride height, but you'll get the interior improvements... Definitely go with the sports package car.

    A corollary question is, does anyone know if the sport package Allroads have the uprated sway bars that the sport A4s have, even though the ride height isn't reduced? If we can confirm one way or another I'll update the buyer's guide.

    What color is the interior on the sport package? Regardless, the sport package would be my choice; better seats; nicer wheel; possible back headliner; checking all the boxes. B&O is nice, I like mine, but some don't care as they put aftermarket stereos in anyway.

    I don't think there are any sport changes other then cosmetics. The sways are all the same on the cars I've worked on. Springs are also all the same. Don't think the allroad is marketed as a sports vehicle

    The sport pkg is simply seats and steering wheel. No changes to suspension or suspension settings
