Re: BUCKET SEATS
Lucky for you the RS3 has 2 back doors that come with easy entry / exit seats. Buckets all day long if you ask me, the wife has them in her 3 and they are pretty much the same as mine. I wouldn't even consider an RS3 or 4 without them.blackphantom wrote:DK its the RS 3 buckets vs. SuperSport seats im going to Tamworth Audi where they have both to try but the one with buckets is too old and too many miles for me ,Nicky I've got an elderly parent who relies on me for transport so it needs to be easy for her to get in and out of .
Re: BUCKET SEATS
Comfort seats for me all day long! Had them in my RS4 and now in my RS3, it's a 4 door car which I bought because it is practical, the seats eat in to the rear space to much.
As a Parent with a 3 year old this is very important, but can see the draw of the buckets to people a lot more fortunate than myself who do not have kids
I don't find them particularly comfy and they wear like a bitch, just look at some of the pics in the classifieds, some with under 10k and the bolsters are screwed. Another trick I found was people just don't photograph them, leaving you with a nasty suprise when you view the car

Re: BUCKET SEATS
Thanks for everyones input I've tried both this morning at Tamworth Audi and have pulled the trigger on the newer/lower milage one with the............................................ Supershite seats (as found in the A3).The buckets are nice but my elderly parent would not be able to get in or out of them,so after 2.5 enjoyable years of S4 ownership ive been throughly converted from Mercedes to Audi and looking foreward to getting the RS

I have 2 kids (10 year old and a 1 year old), no complaints from them or other adults in the back or from the wife's 3 either.gilford wrote:.

Re: BUCKET SEATS
The car was registered jan 2013 so possibly already got them ,they said it wasnt showing brake kit on their system but i will check with audi uk,the same happened with my S4 i knew about the brake kit before the dealer did.doodlebug wrote:Ensure it has had the revised brakes too. MUCH better.
Re: BUCKET SEATS
It won't have had it from build. It's only been available about a month. It only becomes an official fix in July. You'll need to pester the dealer or better still just go to Audi UK who'll sort it.

Re: BUCKET SEATS
Hi guys new to this forum but I've owned my 3 for about a year now, buckets do make it look and feel a special place to be for me I bought what was a available at the time, I've thought about having them retrofitted 3k is what seems to be said although the dealer i rang wasn't interested in giving a price, does anyone know what the cost is for these seats?
Cheers ubbs.
