The point i'm making is what difference does it make what you have in to start with. If the Seat costs £1750 from Audi then it should be £1750 across the VAG range of cars said seats fit in. Even if the standard seat is a Wicker chair it's not as if they take the old seats out and put the new ones in. It's done at the factory when the car is built (unless you opt to do it yourself later on)

Even if the standard seat is a Wicker chair it's not as if they take the old seats out and put the new ones in.

In terms of the end cost of the car they might as well. The standard seat effects the cost of the car, and as such if the standard seat in a Golf costs them £500 to put in, and the Audi seat costs them £1000 to put in, then the cost of upgrading said seats is obviously going to be different.

For arguments sakes

If the Standard R20 Cloth seats cost VW £500 and the cost of the Bucket seats are £3,500 then the shortfall is £3000.00

If the Standard RS Leather Seats cost Audi £1500 and the cost of the Bucket seats are £3,500 then the shortfall is £2000.00


When you've added the extra of the Bucket seats, they dont expect you to pay for cost of the standard ones too

I'm with RR on this one - love the sportback and S-tronic, saved me ticking 2 boxes anyway  :P

I'll leave Red for him and I'll take a black or white one

I know exactly what you mean mate (Carl will be along in a minute  :signLOL:). Still doesn't get round the fact that there is such a huge difference though. Because with your theory the standard seats in the S3 are £1500 better than the .:R  :surprised:

Sorry Mike  :ashamed:

No, I'm with you on that. Such a must have option though. I cringe every time I see cloth seats in the Golf R.

oh deary me, no no no

would never pay £40,000 for a hatch back and i don't care how fast it is. plus to only offer it as a sport back is an epic fail. those sport back A3's look terror imo, basically a snub nose estate.

would much rather the 1M like someone else said and have a much better car in the process!
