The 2007 price list for xi (AWD) models shows only about a $100 price difference between option 456 (multi contour seats, formerly known as comfort seats) and option ZSP (sport package, which includes the comfort seats).
Are the extras that come with the sport package worthwhile? Are there any disadvantages to the extras?

Assuming no change in the sport pack vs. 2006 (except seats), it adds black window treatment and nicer rims. I think the $100 is definitely worth it for the rims alone, as the black vs. chrome window surround is personal preference.
Remember, the sport pack on the Xi is purely cosmetic and does not include ARS etc. like on non-4WD models.

So, for the difference you get the additional trim changes.

I agree with joepoole , the sport package on the xi only includes the shadowline trim and multi contour seats (so basically you a paying $100 for the shadowline trim)......you will have to pay extra for the upgraded rims....at least that was the way that the options were structured on the 06's.

TheWeb site says that the sport package also includes "3-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel with controls for audio system, cruise control and Bluetooth? wireless communication for mobile phone".
How different is this from the regular steering wheel? The heated steering wheel that comes with the cold weather package? (Some other posts have indicated a thicker steering wheel has a better feel, but I'm not clear whether this is the sport steering wheel, or the cold weather wheel. If you order both sport and cold weather, what steering wheel do you get?)
