Apologies in advance as I am fairly new to this forum. I have ordered my S3 with the uprated seats. Not seen too much about them on this group.......are they a fairly popular option?

TIA.
 
They are a beautiful option, and I think they're popular
 
People love them mate, expensive though :)
 
Nice seats but I needed to be able to get my disabled mother in my S3, so they were not an option fo rme. Having had an Evo X with full Recaro's before I bought my S3 as well, I found those to be a little too "huggy" on longer trips (but great for a bit of sporty driving). All depends what you use the car for really. The standard seats in all honesty are not that bad

If you do change your mind though, do spec the electric lumbar support on the standard seats, that really is as must.
 
I probably wouldn't have gotten the sports seats if it wasn't for the fact that they come as part of the performance pack here in Oz. It would have worked out to be more expensive to have taken everything else from the PP and paid individually, rather than just getting the pack, so I am having them. I actually prefer the look of the standard seats.......
 
For me it's a no Brainer. Ever since the S3 was released I've loved the look of them.
For me it was toying with the options of tech pack or SSS. SSS won in the end as I have all the tech already on my phone which I need and don't require when driving!
 
How can one not like them ?

I'm probably the only one that doesn't like them lol
They look like the inside of a stitched coat

I prefer the standard leather seats

Would loved to have ordered them but Mrs Pulp has a slight leather allergy so had to go down the alacantra route :(
 
I think I would feel as tho' I was somewhat cheated with these seats as your own getting half a super sports seat IMHO

The base's (the bit you sit on) are the same as the standard S3 seats -



Now if they had the quilted bases like the new TT seats has, well that could be another matter ...

BUT still I do like the S3 SS seats :thumbs up:

As always, just my opinion of course ... :hi:

Personal taste but they do block vision for rear seat passengers.

They aren't sports seats. Nowhere near it.
They may look slightly better, but the standard seats do the same job as far as driving goes and they can be had in Alcantara so I had the standard. The differences in how the two seats perform once sat in them are un-noticeable.
Definitely a case of style over function IMO.

I've got proper sports seats in my forthcoming RS5.

+1 to that, I really like the regular seats, and find the Alcantara quite grippy so you don't slide about too much! Didn't really like the quilted look of the sss.

Or you could put rs5 seats In your a3/s3 on Instagram there's a member called rs4tdi that owns a bagged s3 s3 xxy and that's what he's used, I know because I've asked him and it's a gorgeous car he's got

Pics? :think:

(Ain't got Instagram :()
 
Now that's a proper sports seat!

Not too sure about the interior colour or the wheels however.
Got to admire the commitment though!
 
He looks fairly young late 20s early 30s also has a R8 and rs6 got to admire his collection tbh

As far as I know, he was injured somehow and got a shed load of compensation for being confined to a wheelchair. Don't know if that'd the full story or even true at all mind, just what someone had told me

Seats and wheels are incredible. Each to their own however....

As for super sports, I was all for them until I test drove - virtually identical to the normal seats, don't hug properly, and have the same seat base?! I don't see why they didn't do them properly like in other models. So glad I didn't order without sitting in them.
 
That S3 is lower than a snakes belly! :eek: :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Interior is gorgeous, not so sure on gold wheels tho' :think:

Can't find this anywhere. But are the super sport seats heated and electrically adjustable? Thanks

Mine are heated, I think that's standard. Not electrically adjustable but with electric lumbar adjustment in my case.

I like them, although they are reminiscent of a cobra's hood :)
