All good responses here, I would think coming from a Tuareg, you'd be happier in the sport. As far as ride,i kid you not,my sport rides smoother with it's 22's than the Lexus gs 300 it replaced. And another thing, everyday after work I go to the gym and always park in the same place, so happens so does another guy with his white edge sel? model,and I swear they look like different vehicles, My sport really stands out when compared to the base unit, hope this helps Sport Model FTW!!! And definitely get the vista roof!!
