Thank you, Magnet.
I went for the s-line trim for 2 reasons: (1) I wanted to have the technology pack which the new SE model cannot have as an option, (2) Yes, I liked the looks of the s-line better with features such as LED headlights and other features that come with it.
For me, ride comfort is more important than 'throwing it round corners'. So, perhaps I made the right compromise by going for the s-line but with downgraded suspension??? - I did not get the opportunity to test drive both versions unfortunately.
Hope there are advanced members here who have experienced both. BTW, this is my first ever Audi!
Thank you again, Magnet.
