I am sure a trim shop could match Audi leather and recover the doors but I bet it would run upwards of $500 to $700 easy. My friend had his S5 drivers seats bolster replaced for $200 and you can't even tell it. S5's are bad about the drivers side seat wearing.
That is a possibility however I shouldn't even have to deal with this. So much for "Truth and Engineering" Audi. But your right it's worth looking into anyway I'm just worried about finding a decent match in color and texture and the expense.
simple to me -I'm not going to buy a car where I don't like something. It's not unique model and there is enough another choices.
Also very true however this was my backup vehicle because VW really can't seem to get it's shi@$# together producing the GTI and Golf R in any conceivable orderable way! Even before the latest emissions scandal I waited nearly 2 years and finally gave up and yet you still can't walk into a dealer and place an order! That said I can attempt to find a used SQ5 2015 preferable but that would have been a hell of lot easier had I know Audi would do something so stupid with trim in the first place.
I also had contemplated a BMW 2015-2016 X3 xDrive35i but M sport font bumper makes it look ridiculous. The X Line trim looks far better but unfortunately you can't get paddle shifting on this trim package . Furthermore BMW charges more for semi loaded X3 made in the U.S so no deal plus it depreciates at higher rate than an Audi.
I know by now I'm probably beating a dead horse on this subject but I just took a look at Audi's Canadian website for the 2016 SQ5 guess what Nappa F%%$ door panels! I know it's technically a different market with different vehicle options and spec but WTF Audi....

Same reason I opted not to get the X3 M-Sport. The old M-sport bumper was soooooo much better. Now it looks like they tried to shoehorn the X5 M-sport bumper onto it. Complete fail.

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking and then of course you have to spec ZMM to get sport seats as well. At least they fixed the bumper with the X4 M40i, just waiting to see pricing on it.
