Drove an A6 supercharged today, couple questions and overall impression

[OUGrad05]

Test drove an A6 supercharged today, my impressions compared with 2 years ago when I last drove one:

The steering and suspension feel a little better, seems as though there was some feedback in the wheel though not much, but better than the 2013 I last drove. Maybe the calibration has changed?
The engine is much smoother than I remembered and throttle response is snapppppppy.
It was a touch noisier inside than I recalled.
Depending on the bumps/potholes in the road sometimes it doesn't feel as solid as the F10 5 series.
It felt overall very light on its feet.
Wish the steering was heavier in dynamic mode.

Overall, it's probably on the top of my list for my next car. I'm going to try to score a 2016 prestige around year end with a target price of 40-43k. Already seeing a few CPO 2015s popping up with prices in the mid/upper 30s.

Are the ventilated seats designed with different bolstering? Are all the sport seats ventilated? I want seats with the thigh extensions and I think that requires sport seats? Ventilated seats are also very nice in Oklahoma summers. Or hell in 8 months out of the year around here...

Sport package is a must as well, the suspension was a touch soft on initial turn in but as the g's mount the car stays unbelievably well planted. Honestly all the chatter about "understeer" by the mags seems overblown, it felt like it had less understeer than my buddies 550i and I pushed it reasonably hard on a ramp labeled 25mph I hit it at 55mph with zero drama, and only a hint of understeer, probably could have ramped another 5mph out of it tbh....

You nailed it in all aspects. Yes the C7.5 is a big improvement over the C7 in almost every aspect.
All sport seats are not ventilated.
I am planning on an S6 towards the end of this year or early next year . I will be selling mine if all falls in place.

So how good are the sport seats? No ventilation kinda sucks, I love the ventilated seats that Lexus has and the standard seats which I sat in yesterday have minimal side bolstering.

All prestige models come with the ventilated sport seats. They are much better than the regular seats - more comfort and more bolstering. Prestige + 20" sport package is an absolute must. Beyond that, personally I wanted the driver assistance package and black optics.

So ALL prestige cars for 2016 came with the sport seats AND ventilation? Agent 47 said all sport seats are NOT ventilated and I'm pretty sure the seats yesterday were not ventilated, there were no perforations in the seats for air to flow through....

I do remember that on my 2013 A6, even with prestige package, you needed to add comfort seating package for ventilated seats. I suppose that did change in 2016+ models. Its shown as standard equipment on prestige package.
In order to add the 20" wheel (or black optics) package, you need to add the 19" sport package that gives you the 3 spoke steering wheel and sport suspension.
One thing to be kept in mind is that for some reason, dealers are able to configure cars in a very different manner compared to what shows up on the Audi USA website. So that could be the reason for the seats not being the ventilated kind. I would still make sure of it being prestige and not premium plus. Premium plus can be loaded with every damn thing and come up to 65k easy.
