Default Can't get comfortable in my Leatherette Seats....

I just can't get comfortable in my 99 A6 with leatherette seats. I am 6'1, 185lbs and have adjusted my seats every which way but loose, not 100% comfortable and I have a 80 mile commute to work each day, so it is very important to be comfortable.

THose with the sport seats how do you like them? Is that something that I can easily switch my seats for? How much should I expect to pay?

Default which is which?...

I have a 98 with the wide piece seats, not the ones with the think long bars of leather. Which do I have leather, or leatherette?

Default I have the "long bars" on my 98

If it is not real leather, then it is the best darn leatherette I've ever seen. It does not even come close to looking like the leatherette I've seen in the 1.8T's, which almost look like perforated cloth to me.

You should be able to tell by the smell too

Default Leatherette has holes in it. Longitudinal bars mean you have an "ambition" interior vs

horizontal bars for "ambiente" or "advance" interiors. The Ambiente interior has the softest padding, while the Ambition has the firmest.

Thanks, I now know I have ambition!
At least it comes from somewhere
