Hello All,

Receiving conflicting information about this, the sales person at the dealership says "No paddle shifters without ordering the S-Line package".

However the Audi Canada Online Configurator states the following as standard equipment for a tiptronic A5: 'Leather-covered multifunction sports steering wheel, 3-spoke, with gearshift function' (I take it this means paddle shifters?)

Also on a recent review of a Canadian spec, none S-line, tiptronic A5 the reviewer is using paddle shifters and states they are standard equipment. Maybe this was a press car so it could of been a different spec?

(Here is the video review by the way: http://www.drivingtelevision.com/CarReviewVideos.php?ccID=635)

So can anyone shed some light on this? Are there any Canadian members out there with none S-line tiptronic A5's and do you have paddle shifters?

Thanks, Rodm

Paddle shifters

I heard that for 2009, they are only available on the S-line models. On 2008's I believe they are standard on all tips.
