Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to say I picked up our car on Friday from our dealer (not the main audi dealer) and while it is lovely the upholstery is not exactly as I was expecting. I've been in touch with the main dealer and they will happily look at it for us but wanted to know what yours was like? For comparison ours is an s-line spec with std black leather.
To be fair I only had a short time with the car before I dropped it at the detailers for a ceramic paint protection and rushed back to work so didn't take any images but there were a couple of areas which I found a little saggy.
The first is the centre console/arm rest - which is just a simple leather clad plastic panel was not taught, if you rub your thumb across it it bunches up. Where as other areas of similar construction (window sills or dash) are solid. I assume this is wrong? - I'd have expected the finish should really match the other solid interior elements clad in leather.
The second area is the front edge of the seat cushion in the middle of the rear seat - it feels more like a vintage sofa where the foam pad is sitting well below the level of the leather. We've always had a cloth interior before which has been full and tight. This is not full and tight, as if it was installed but then not steamed to fit (or however they tighten leather upholstery onto the foam cushioning). I might expect this if the car was a few years old and had some use but absolutely no one has sat in this position.
So far the dealer has made all the right noises about wanting to help resolve it, but until they see the pics I'll send them this week we won't know how helpful they'll actually be.
Anyone else have any issues with their upholstery? - how saggy/loose should the rear seat pad be? Any comments/experiences gratefully received.
Cheers
