I REALLY like the way my 4.8i handles with the Sports Package and the 20" wheels. I have Active Steering too. I've not driven another SUV yet that handles as well as this model (although I'm sure there are such as the high-end Porsche or MB models).

You may want to look into what the Sports Package adds and see if there's any mods that appear to be worth the expense.
