My local dealer has an A3 with beige "Vienna Premium Leather". I haven't seen the car yet but, the "Premium" is about $800.00. Has anybody seen or does anybody own a car with this leather? What is nicer about it? Is it in any possible way, shape or form, "worth it"?
Thanks.

 

I assume that you're talking about an A3 3.2Q. Yes, no?

If so, then the $800 leather package is upgraded leather seating where the entire surface that your body touches is leather. On lesser equipped "leather interior" cars, the bolsters are skinned in vinyl and have a tendency to crack. For many of us who would prefer to opt for an A3 2.0T, our only seating options are all vinyl or central leather surfaces with the vinyl bolsters, and as such, it would be my plan to visit an after market upholstery shop shortly after picking my car up and having the bolsters reskinned in real leather.

 

Oh, thanks. That is very helpful. I am talking about the 3.2Q.

 

I got it and I like it. I get alot of compliments on it. Smells good too.

 

Interesting. Never really thought about the opportunity of the vinyl surfaces cracking. I'll have to keep 'em properly moisturized.

 

strange....perhaps we are talking the same stuff but mine has as standard alcantara on the center and leather on the side's.never have seen vinyl on a 3.2Q.perhaps its different in other country's but here in Italy it is standard.
