Hi all,

I'm new here. I'm currently selling my 2005 A4 1.9 TDI S Line and want to buy a second hand A5, probably 2008. I'm thinking the 1.8 would be the best choice (in terms of tax, insurance and fuel costs etc) - would love the 2.0 Petrol (211BHP) but it seems to be very rare. So now my issue is whether I go for the Sport model or not. So I have 3 questions, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

1. I've read a couple of reviews that seems to suggest the Sports model suspension is TOO hard? Can anyone advise?

2. What exactly is the difference between the Sport and SE models? Suspension, seats.... is the actual body styling different?

3. I'm also hearing Sports and S line. Is there 2 different models or are they the same thing.

Thanks in advance!
Bob
