All North American A6 should be standard seats regardless of trim. The fact you have holes in seat cushion or not is irrelevant. Comfort seats should come with 22 way power adjustments and massage function.

Check out this thread, which has several pictures of the Comfort Seats. The S6/7 version is 18-way adjustable, by the way, missing the upper shoulder and headrest power adjustments from the A/S8. Pretty much the same in every other respect.

You missed my point. You provided a UK description of which ventilated seats suck and which blow. I was saying that it doesn't match the US seats. UK standard ventilated seats are described to suck and my A6 Prestige standard seats blow. Therefore, the UK description does not line up with US ventilated seats.

Furthermore, US Prestige seats are a different design than non-Prestige seats - besides the perforated ventilation feature, the shape and patterns are different including a longer thigh cushion in the Prestige. While S6 Comfort seats are different, Audi confusingly describes the A6 Prestige seats as Comfort seats on one of their feature web pages. The A8 Comfort seats are completely different yet again.

In the NA brochures, there are two pictures of standard seats.

One is labeled "Standard Seat" and there are four colors choices shown.

The other one which looks almost the same, is labeled "Comfort seat". It also has the same color choices with perforations shown. It has more stitching on the top. Slightly different side bolsters and a larger cushion under the knees.

The "Comfort seat" comes with the Prestige trim.

Not exactly the same. See post #13.

As noted. I was editing my reply when you posted this.

I had ventilated seats on a Lexus, which I believe are similar to the Audi's.

You can increase their cooling effect by sending air conditioned air to the foot well vents because there is a vent underneath the front seats. Making a shroud to channel the air up into the seat base works even better.

However, the fans are nowhere near powerful enough. When you are sitting on the seat, your pants cover almost all of the tiny perforations, blocking the air flow. Air will then flow out the holes with least resistance, which is between your legs. The fan in the lumbar area is blocked as well, unless you lift your back.

I think the design Audi had in mind is to have the air directly hit your body vs. escaping out through the perforations. At first I thought the fans were too weak but after using the system for awhile, it feels just right, especially after a few minutes on a hot day when the A/C gets up to speed. For me, it's just enough cool ambient air to be comfortable and I would find it unpleasant to feel an icy wind blowing directly up my butt for any length of time. To each their own, I guess.

Oh I didn't mind them. They did give a nice subtle cooling effect if you gave the car A/C time to cool the whole cabin.

But I do want to warn others to not expect them to freeze your butt with blasts of icy cold air as soon as you get in the car. That's simply not how they work.

And frankly, that may not be how I'd like them to work anyway...
