I'm looking at an S5 with black/black alcantara. Anyone have these seats and how do you like them? Wear, comfort, stains, etc...

Couldn't be happier. My favorite part of it is that it does not show wear like leather (no creases, cracks, wrinkles, etc.) and stays looking new for a very long time; easy maintenance. I'm pretty careful in my car so not sure about stains or dirt.

I personaly prefer the Alcantara with perforated holes in the S-Line package better than the S5 Alcantara seat surface..

The Alcantara was a must in my wife's mind. She feels that it looks classy, and she really likes the feel of it. Personally, I find that it grips a little too much, and it's more difficult to get into a comfortable position upon entry. If you are going to track the car at all though, it will come in handy in the twisties!

Thanks guys. I'll probably go ahead and pull the trigger on the one with the Alcantara seats.

It has pretty much every option, but it doesn't have Drive Select which I kind of want.

Didn't I read where you can download or buy something that gives you the shift settings like the Drive Select?

Are you getting the Sports Rear Differential with your S5? If so, you'll get some of the Drive Select options including the throttle and shift controls. What you don't get are the additional steering and suspension controls. That's why it is considered ADS Lite.
