Is anyone else supremely annoyed by Audi and their options packages on the A3? I realize most of you have an A3 already, but for those of us wanting to buy new we have no options. Here is what you do: go to the US Audi site and build an A3. Select cloth seats, now try and choose an option. Every mother f*cking option requires an upgrade to the premium package or S-Line which forces leather seats onto your car. I hate leather, its hot, sticky, and it doesn't hold up as well as a good fabric seat. Its only saving grace is easy to clean. So its either barebones A3 or leather with an extra $2-3k added to the price.[:@][:@]

 

I mean I'm just a newbie here, but if you are complaining about leather seats on a car, I'd say the A3 isn't the car for you. I'd go for the VW GTI or MazdaSpeed...

 

I would have to agree. If you don't want leather your not in the market for an Audi. You should deffintly look at the GTI they do have them in 3 and 5 door options. Or the Mazda 3 mamazdaspeed3 its a turbo

 

Why would you want cloth seats in a Audi(or any car for that matter).....[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

 

So which car company doesn't make you pay for leather seats? And last time I checked its $1500 to upgrade to leather seats which is basicly how it is everywhere else... Cloth is tacky and outdated. An a3 deserves leather seats!

 

Audi with cloth interior is an oxymoron...

 

<-----Has cloth seats because that is what I wanted! I have never owned a car with leather seats. I don't like sticking to the leather and burning my legs in the summer.

 

Are you driving without pants on !!!!![sm=happybounce.gif]

 

shorts...but from time to time my pants have been down. Road hummers FTW!!!

 

Uhm....

I have an S-line TDI in Taiwan, it has the S-line seats and best of all NO LEATHER and with all features!

Cloth is way better than leather! I really want to get an A5, my biggest gripe is that you cannot get leather with that car no matter what.
