Default S5 Cab Sport Seats vs Comfort Seats

Yes, the sport seats are great and look even better, but has anyone on here gotten the comfort seats? I like the idea of the ventilated seats (love them on my Q7), and the neck-level heater looks like a good way to extend the top-down driving season. Any feedback appreciated.

I considered this issue when ordering my S5. My feeling is that with the comfort seats you basically wind up with a seat that looks like the seats in the A5 which are less sporty and attractive (no offense intended to A5 owners). Turn the heat up, put up the windows and install the air screen. This is adequate unless you like putting the top down during winter.

the comfort seats are still sportier than the standard A5 seat just to be clear. The neck warmer is actually quite nice. I was driving with temps in the 40s. The seat ventilation seems a bit weak to me. I thought I'd feel it so much more.

Yeah, I am coming down on that side. The S5's sport seats are surely a differentiating factor, and I do like the two-tone seats a lot.

So, are you liking your quartz gray? I have a Graphite Gray Q7, so I am thinking I want something different for the Cab, but there are so few out in the world it's hard to get a good grasp on it. I will never own a black car again, and as great as the blue looks, I am afraid I will be in the same boat there.

I ordered the Quartz and two-tone seats sight unseen. While waiting I was really second guessing my choices. I'll tell you, when my car came in and I saw it for the first time I knew the right decision was made. No regrets!
