New review with video.  Definitely the sports exhaust too.

Any news about the buckets availability?


Do you think the buckets posted above will be available in the uk? Why would they wait until 2016? Makes me not want to order now as think they look great and would be gutted if they become available after my order!

UK configurator is down again...  They are removing all colour options apart from Nardo and making all possible options part of one single big pack so whatever option you want, you have to buy EVERYTHING!


What is the deal with the uk configurator? Down for two days?

The Bucket Seats do look fantastic and I would have chosen them when I ordered, if they had been available. But upon reflection, they look very deep and I know that is the idea, but as an everyday drive? What are the MkI ones like to use everyday and am I getting too soft at 40?

That looks like a good spec, but week 30 sounds too good to be true, but you never know...

Yeah not expecting it to come that soon going by what I have seen on here. But dealer says they have a allocation of 8 cars & have just adjusted one to my spec. Want it to come a bit later if I'm honest, more time to save

I'm 60 and I love the buckets in mine, very supportive and comfortable on long journeys  :)

I'm not far off that milestone too and I love the buckets. The Super Sport ones do look to be very narrow - perhaps more narrow than the current ones - and they have a fair slo[e bakc on the seat base too. Anyone considering them could do worse then to take a trip to a German Audi dealer who has a demo car (or perhaps even Dutch dealer as I guess the supply and options the same as Germany) ?

I've sat in the SS seats of the launch car in London, and as far as I can tell they're the same as the SS seats in a couple of S3s I sat in yesterday.  I'm 15.5 stone and very broad of shoulder and fitted them perfectly.  The seat base slope is adjustable and the seat base can extend to support long legs or heavy testicles.  Standards seats will do neither.  I'd say the SS seats give an extra inch or so extra headroom too versus standard.  The dealer said 2".
