Cheers. May have made a rash decision cancelling but what will be will be. Still undecided on where to go next, but the V10+ is drawing my interest, however lots of cars interesting me at the moment & now the wife's committed to an XC60 the variables of choice cover most things.

Answered my own question yesterday as was out with Audi at Bedford Autodrome in RS's & V10+'s & the buckets must be designed for best to say very small/slight people & was next to no room in the cabin when wearing a lid so not a chance i could live with the buckets.

Was frustrating as they look stunning & are a no cost option on the V10+ but IIRC about £3k to opt on the standard V10, but my shoulders didn't get close to settle into the seat & i couldn't get close to putting my head against the headrest with a helmet on so a no go:(

You can spec the V10+ with Sports Seats which have that diamond quilting. They're extremely comfortable but i was hoping the Buckets would be up to the job too.
