I love the buckets. They look so exotic and really differentiate the car. I think they're almost as important as the wide body to the RS4 identity.

One major downside to buckets is that they are a major attractions to thieves. Every kid with a golf wants them... And the thieves aren't stupid. They sell for thousands of pounds on eBay etc.

In the past year on the B7 forum, I have read about 10 different cars having their buckets stolen. I've never heard of comfort or sport seats being stolen.

Windows smashed, seats pulled out through windows, interior trim destroyed in the process. If you're lucky, they take your steering wheel and shift knob too.

Then your car ends up in a £15,000 claim or worse yet, written off if it's a few years old.
