Default Opinions: To sport seat, or not to sport seat (more)

I like the idea of sport seats to hug me around sharp corners, but I was hoping on leatherette (1.8T). Unfortunately, sport seats are only available in cloth and leather.. What do you think? How supportive are the standard seats? I'm not going to be racing on a track, just hard street driving once and a while. What did you do? What are your opinions? I don't really feel like installing aftermarket seats..

This is a very subjective decision. Some people think the regular seats are not supportive enough, and others (like me) find the sport seats uncomfortable. I'd suggest you try both yourself, and try to get an extended ride in the sport seats.

Default Cloth only with the 1.8T

Since leather is a 2.8 only option, if you are looking at a 1.8, the cloth will have to do.

By the way I have the cloth and love it.<p>2001 A4 1.8TQMS

If you are a little broad in the beam you will find them uncomfortable, otherwise test them both and pick your fav.

Actually, I'm so narrow I'm concerned I still might be sliding around WITH the sports seat!

Default Get the cloth sport seats, you'll just slide around on the non-sport leatherette
