...I have an issue.

I am a big chap (not fat, I hasten to add!) and the narrow bolsters on the standard fit recaro base on my 2002 S8 pinch my hips and give me terrible sciatica on a long drive. I have the option to swap out my seats for the standard seats, or the comfort seats from a late A8L (at a price), which I believe are a lot more luxurious. I really like the look of the comfort seats.

I have sat in neither, and the A8L is very rare here in the UK.

Can you let me know your opinions.

Before you ask, I will be keeping the old seats to swap back in at time of sale.

Cheers

Imagine: driving 600 miles non-stop and stepping out of the car like you just drove off. I love them

They don't look as sporty, they don't hold you in as well going around a tight turn....but that's about it. They are super nice.

The comfort seats are the most comfortable roadgoing seats I've been on.

I drove for awhile. They make motor touring a delight.

I'll get a pleasant reminder in a few days when I do a one-day 950 mile trip.

Do all A8's have comfy seats or is this an option

I specifically looked for an S8 with the comfort seats as they are less common than the Recaros. Do the switch. -- Bob

...something didn't feel right. It wasn't a good fit. I used to make frequent 6 hour long drives with my car with comfort seats without any back problems.

Geintje!
