Do the seats break in over time?
I test drove a 2016 Q5 today and absolutely loved everything except the seats (I drove both standard and sport) were so firm they bordered on uncomfortable. Hard to know if this is something that will always annoy me or I'll just get used to it over time. Curious if anyone out there feels like the seats break in a bit over time or if they remain on the stiff side? Thanks!

On a side note, I test drove both 2.0 and 3.0...wow the 3.0 can move...

The comfort seats are the ventilated ones and are a little more plush IMO and also gets you additional leather on the doors and on the dash. I'm not the best person to ask about seat comfort though because I prefer harder seats (as long as the shape is good).

I considered the sport seats but settled on the regular seats in my 2016 Q5 2.0T. The sport seats were much less comfortable for me (too hard). If you think the Q5 seats are too hard you should try the Mercedes GLC or BMW X3 by comparison. The Q5 seats will feel great after sitting in either one of those for a while!

I love the Sport seats. Very supportive in all the right places. The comfort seats are nice but I can't see them holding you very well in any spirited driving. You'd just slide around.
And yes, the 3.0T can move. Also the 3.0 can come with an adaptive suspension so the ride can be tailored to your liking. Effectively softening the seats. (kinda)
